Great grid - enjoyed immensely. Just saw the 'Gap' connection too late.

Liked it but would quibble over 'gig' being a synonym of 'performance' - to me it means temporary job or concert. Also, 'the power of a woman' I do not recognise as collocations/fixed expressions like the other 3 might be...

I'd quibble with Si- both fine- power of a woman is also a song so recognisable; and if gig can mean concert surely it can also mean performance?!!! I think continent and incontinent can technically be antonyms, but it's a great group nevertheless. Really enjoyed this one

Really clever, well done, not going to admit to how many I got but thanks for a great grid

But doesn't continent become what you say it doesn't?

My lovely Nan, bless her, RIP, once described another elderly lady as unpleasant to share a room with because she was "continental in bed". You have to wonder? One of her many, wonderful malapropisms. :)xx

Lorna: ha! Always with pinky finger extended just so, one assumes
