You know, I knew what postprandial meant so I guessed preprandial, but I have absolutely no idea how I know that word! Quite possibly one of DD's old clues! ;)

Correct :-D Please change the subject to include solution and then proceed to the bar to buy the lounge the customary congratulatory round of preferred beverage! I'll have a Guinness please :-D That's all from me folks, Sheriff Dave will be resuming his maniacal CCCs on Monday, its been a great pleasure and I need to start thinking up a daily quiz for all of you. Probably mathematical...

That sounds right to me, Mustafa. I've only just got here and I find that that woman from the sticks has solved it before I have even logged in! She is a fast woman you know? Nudge, nudge, wink, wink. :-D

Sorry - When I had posted the original message I hadn't done a refresh so don't see the 5. Plus I have to say it's impressive the amount of messages in this thread. I haven't seen a CCC this busy in a while. Maybe you need to do a quiz as well! Really make our brain work with both the problems. I prefer the maths ones. Cryptic crosswords are not for me!

"Are primates able to become preprandial delights?" (7) Have at it folks :)
