Thanks Cenwulf - I'll be interested to see what the others come up with because at first glance this means nothing to me :(

It will all be clear at the end - I know you that well - but I'll come back and have a think later.

Especially since it's quite an important example :lol:

All of my puzzles are simple and obvious. For certain values of "simple" and "obvious".

Does not being able to do it count as a problem?

Try covering up the word 'example' to see if any of the clues become clearer.
Particularly some which are cryptic clues.
Also consider 6 and 13 Across and 23 down - they may lead you towards other answers.
