Nor does Collins but L=lost is in COED.

And I have always found the name Norbert Dentressangle fascinating.

Yes, Malc95, I also sort-of assumed L = ‘lost’. But Chambers doesn’t give it.

3d – L = lost probably refers to football league tables:
W = no. of matches won, D = drawn & L = lost.

7d – I just took “secretly in demand” as a sort of definition for “envy”, although the grammar would be a bit dodgy.

And of course thanks to cyclops for a nicely scatological solve, as usual. Yes I can’t parse 26, either.

Minor typo: 15d end of honorable is e, not t.

Does Norbert dentressangle (sp?) feature at all in the film? I’ve lived abroad for so long, I don’t know who’s who in uk lorry driving…and is he called “nobby” by his friends, so instantly becoming a ref for Cyclops?
