I would like to have my crimes solved by a Mexican Welshman who wore a sombrero, if I had any crimes that needed solving. Sadly I don’t. Maybe I’d better invent one ‘specially.

Clare : Daffydd Gonzales is a product of my overactive imagination. He’s a Mexican Welshman who wears a sombrero and solves crimes in Port Talbot. He would be very upset by the racial slurs in two of Shed’s clues. Loving your blog by the way.

James : THanks for the correction – I did say that I always learned something from a Shed crossword.

I don’t see what the definition would be for PANS.

P(ainter)+ANS (year in French)?

A Chartered Surveyor would be an FRICS.

It’s hard to solve crosswords with non existent words in the area of the world in which you live.

I couldn’t work out why Saucepan, but now I know.

I liked the lapsang souchong one, too. And bare-faced cheek. Cheeky.
