Many very good clues this month and I found it hard to separate them. It seems this Iceland thing has inspired setters. Last week's offering in The Week by Tim Moorey was excellent, and a regular setter in a daily was telling me how he had painstakingly produced a crossword with that unpronounceable island in the unches, for it to be rejected as having already been done. 1st (2 pts): 41 2nd= (1.5 points each): 25, 37, 42, 48, 50, 53 8th= (0.5 points each): 4, 10, 15, 23, 38, 40, 44, 46
