Yes rabbit on is very common here in England.

Chas and Dave did a record called rabbit, all about a

woman who does not shut up. Cant imagine what gave them the idea!

Lorraine, 21 Down and 8 Down were the first two I filled in also. Like you, I remembered the “tench” from a few weeks ago. This puzzle gave me a bit of a struggle, but I finally did manage to complete it. At 15 Down I could see what was required to solve the clue but the expression “rabbit on” is totally new to me. I like it, though, and found myself remembering the wonderful “Watership Down” and imagined Hazel and all the other bunnies “rabbiting on.” Is this a common expression in England? Lots of really nice clues in this one. I especially liked 24 Across and 18 Down. For some reason it took me a while to get 4 Down though I knew it had to be an anagram. I guess I was being a bit obtuse! I agree with Kathryn’s Dad about 23 Across, but at least it was easy to figure out. Looking forward to this week’s puzzle now. Wishing you all a wonderful week ahead!

One or two tricky ones here – in fact I failed on SAYERS, and like you had to go to Mrs Google to understand BOUNTIFUL.

COME TO THE RESCUE I wasn’t dead keen on, since ‘free’ and ‘deliver’ are such close synonyms that it barely counted as a dd. But I did like MACON and RABBIT ON.

Thanks to Everyman for the puzzle.

One definition of theme is ‘a thesis, a brief essay or exercise’ and definition of text is ‘a theme’ both found in Chambers dictionary.

Hope that explains it for you John.
