Introduction

Fans of Giovanni receive a treat today, being served up another one of his puzzles after having just partaken of one on Friday. It seems that the National Post has decided to go back and pick up a dropped stitch by running DT 26270 which would have appeared last Monday had the regular publication sequence been followed. Having been able to complete the puzzle without opening my Tool Chest, I was pleasantly surprised to see that it rated three stars for difficulty from Gnomethang. My success is obviously due, in no small part, to the almost total absence of Briticisms in today's puzzle.
