    Angles?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3 robdoran


    I think AVOW is correct.

    Anyone have 112 across: "The openings come from the east on these occasions"

    None of the answers I think of makes any sense.

    Cheers.

    Thanks, I thought of 'events' but I don't understand it and the reference to east.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 78 ✭✭Palbear


    vents are openings.
    they come after E for East

    e-vents

    or maybe my cryptic logic is warped
