* Take note readers in foreign lands: it’s either St Patrick’s or Paddy’s Day. Never St Patty’s Day!

** The built-in clue here, which we didn’t spot I must admit, is that all the answers are in alphabetical order.  Very clever!

*** By which I mean those of you that are in a place where everyone has the day off, of course. 🙂
