My Essex girl other half was not altogether impressed, ok she laughed, WOW took a while to see, thanks DONK and Simon.

I did enjoy this one, but it had me beat – couldn’t see WOW (hmmm…) or WALLET. It’s funny, I saw PIT STOP straight away (and I hate F1). I thought UPSET was a particularly clever clue, and ESSEX GIRL made me smile. I know a good number of Essex Girl jokes, but most of them are not suitable pre-watershed. (‘Why do Essex Girls take the pill? So they know what day it is.’)

Another very good puzzle from Donk, and thank you to Simon for a helpful blog.

Nice one from Donk. All gettable but a lot of clues took some time to appreciate their subtlety. My CoD was AMALGAM but there were several that would run it a close second. And a facepalm moment when I twigged PIT STOP.

Thanks to setter and blogger.

Another fine puzzle from young Donk – it took me two sessions to finish off too – but then I quite often find that the case with puzzles in the Indy. Thanks to him and to Simon for the blog.
