Completed after the Guardian so 13d a write in to get started. Got in a terrrible muddle with top right section as had IN RANK for 6a however with the conundrum of what I thought were conflicting 2 correct answers I went for JAW to be correct and started again. 3d did not know and I dont really like what I call general knowledge clues (as mine is not great especially literature) without another means of solving from the subsiduary parts. All sais enjoyable way to end the sfternoon

Re comment 1: it was the ‘under water’ that got me going on that.

Smiffy referred us to Dennis Moore a few days ago, with regard to lupins. I again urge you to look at the video, if you haven’t seen it already – or even if you have!

Hi Eileen. Yes, there were some opportunities with AQUA: maybe “Bring up stories about pale blue bird.”

Hi Agentzero

I agree with you about 4dn. I spent a minute or two trying to work AQUA into the clue but decided there was nothing more to it than you suggest.
