Not a great selection this month, but at least two crackers. 1st (5 points) 21 — quite brilliant, it all fits together perfectly 2nd (3 points) 11 — very nice, although I'm not sure about the anagram indicator 'mess' — an imperative, I suppose — and I don't like the needless exclam 3rd = (2 points each) 17 — not sure that Acker Bilk is well-enough known, but otherwise good — and 8 — very nice, but although the surface is neat I'm not sure what it's saying 5th = (1 point each) 19, 24, 26 — all good but the surfaces are less good than those of the ones above.
