The bands group doesn't work as some have a "the" and some do not.

In.my defense JP..isn't that a bit like saying groups of surnames don't work without the forenames?

enjoyed this..:)

No, it is nothing like saying that. JP's point is 100% valid especially when you are purposefully using words like Jam as a misdirect. You can't then say 'it's not Jam on Bread - it's 'The' Jam, the band. But it's not The peanut butter' - can't have it both ways

Boo

Blimey....I didn't think these grids were taken THAT seriously!!??....I'll try harder in future!

Good grid, got there 2 with 2 seconds to spare.

I don’t think I’d lose any sleep over it Ossie. They’re probably correct but the social skills on here at times are cringeworthy.

Need to broaden the marking -The 'sword, way, band and side 'group are also all homophones. (Sawed, weigh, banned and sighed)
Good grid.

well said, Bin Dipper sir. See Derren Brown- the Experiments: Remote Control; the internet can act like a mask. Treat people as you would face- to - face.
