Financial Times 15,303 by SLEUTH

Wed July 27, 2016 at 10:39 am by PeeDee

I thought this was on the tougher side of Bradman’s usual offerings. A lot of good solid clues, with some that were made difficult by me not knowing the word. All in all a good workout. Thanks Don!

I enjoyed this, but there is one I can’t get and one not fully explained. I am away from home writing this from a hotel room. I have to leave soon and I am not sure if I will be able to update the blog again today. Please add your own explanations on the comments section. Thank you Julius.
