Huge contributions from Alex, leaving Sandy struggling to keep awake at the back of the class.
Alex, no it's definitely present tense but I see why you asked.
You had 20 across, 24 across and 42 across wrong, also you spelled Canape wrong but I gave you that one for effort. by the way your answer for 24 across was much better than the actual answer - wish I'd thought of it.
