I haven't read through all the threads but the only answers I had were Bundy and Poll.

BTW, what has all this got to do with Barbie?

Well done to all 5( ) who had a go.
I have to admit that my brain works in mysterious ways and I've never done a crossie before. The cane toad clue was the most difficult (vague?) one of the lot. nickyc did get it early on, and both possoms and cresta got it before noticing that I'd posted the answers

There's probably not going to be an issue 2, as I used my best material on this one, and it wasn't a big a success as it might have been.
Maybe I should do bingo next?
