I am puzzled at the explanation of 17 as a “cryptic definition”. Isn’t it in fact a non-cryptic definition? A cedilla is, precisely, a “sign at the bottom of a letter” – nothing cryptic about it.

I think you mean the Yorkshire Ouse, not the Great Ouse.

Macmillan’s online dictionary gives
‘set/put/lay (great) store by/on’
under synonyms etc for appreciate.

Many thanks. The living proof of chaos theory! A butterfly flaps its wing and we get a perfect storm. I didn’t know what I was letting loose!

Till tomorrow whenNile hopefully enjoy some tRU’AHA’ moments from the puzzle itself!

Thanks – loved the juxtaposition – it reminded me of my schoolgirl mnemonic for the tributaries of the Great Ouse:
Swale
Ure
Nid
Wharfe
Aire
Calder
Don

We didn’t “all go off on one”. It was a Quantum Leap!

Goodness knows what lurkers must be thinking.

I’m just off to see Nurse Ratched for my medication and suggest you all do the same, otherwise before we know it Don will be making one of his contributions to the blog.

A demain.

Glad you’ve Cam along and joined this Lark – but I guess it Congo on forever, though I’m Brent on trying if you give me enough Elbe room!
