Tilsit had another overlong stay at the hospital this morning so I have dragged myself away from my year-end accounts to solve and review this puzzle. Having seen earlier plaintive cries in the daily review comments from those who were stuck, I was expecting the worst, but it wasn’t that bad. I whizzed through the NW corner, gave up on the NE, sailed through the SW and struggled a bit with SE before finally returning to tidy up the NE. As I progressed I realised that younger solvers might well have heard of the pop group formerly fronted by the late, much lamented, Sid Barrett but could well struggle with the entertaining Ms Bryan, a lady who was still performing the splits on stage while well into her seventies.
