      They've never all been done but they don't get any easier to set! (or solve)

        Odders, I am grateful that you have kindly stepped in to fill a gap - I'm again hard at work this morning, you saved me!

        I'll have a go later if it isn't solved by then.
        Pacta sunt servanda !!!

                I know how Kipling feels!

                Nice puzzle... I can't fathom it at all. Will ponder to keep me from freezing on the bike.
                "...the isle is full of noises,
                Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                  Kipling is confounded by this one.

                              At least it's not canard

                              (With apologies to John Sullivan and "Only Fools..." )

                                Personally I've never Kippled! ...and I certainly wouldn't try it on a bike!

                                Or maybe you go for Mudguard Kipling!
