The woman in the 8 1/2 pic is in fact Sandra Milo, shown with Marcello Mastroianni, who was also shown with Anita Ekberg in the other pic.

The blogger gets an email every time a comment is left, but it is now the early hours of the morning where Scchua lives so I’m sure he will reply soon.

Thanks in advance!

Many thanks for standing in for me – I’ll be returning the favour next Monday.

An enjoyable puzzle and an excellent blog – ironically mistakes in a puzzle help to increase the number of comments!

It was, nevertheless, an enjoyable puzzle as mentioned in my preamble. (Lateness of this response is due to time zone difference.)

We all make mistakes! Agree with Robi that it was still a pleasing Quiptic puzzle.

Despite the two slips, it was an entertaining puzzle.

STAMPING GROUND should have been “Politician involved in smear initially goes to earth in usual hangout”
GAFFER – For some reason I thought FER was French for fire. Sorry, obviously far too long since I did French at school!
