I think it's a gender thing, like le and la in French.

I once stayed in a hotel called "Los patos" (ducks wandering round the garden with their own little pond )

Hello everyone. When I first started the crossword this am I could get nothing then gradually started to get them. However still stuck on 15A Athlete devours killer drug. I have ?O???N? and 3D That woman will nearly draw dog and I have ???L?I? There are others too of course. As usual I cannot be certain that the letters I have are right. I will blame my lack of answers on all the rain - it seems to have been pouring non stop for the past 3 days!

Hi Mondrian
15 the athlete is now a Lord; the killer is biblical.
3 "The woman nearly" - use an abbreviation, but take off the last letter. The "draw" translates in a sporting sense. It's a dog.

bass drum control.

yes ;). (only 8 in stock,more on the way)

Thanks Chrise for solving 3D for me. Of course it is a dog. I looked through my book of dogs but couldn`t find it. Now I am finished. Hope you are well.

Hi, I think I have the answer to 9D (a stalwart of Radio 4), but I can't see how to parse his surname from the clue. Could someone explain it please?

A well-known chef around an anagram of "as the gun".

Thanks Chrise, I see it now.
