Thanks for posting

Another day another puzzle, this time I actually did respectably for me. I identified a group of trousers early on, despite not hearing of one of that group. I then managed to snaffle up some Mediterranean islands. However, one tricksy group in particular caused me great difficulty, what in goodness name is a Gozo? Some Japanese treat i’ve not heard of? a lower tier greek god of myth? It matters not, I did not get their group or recognise them.

Here I stand bested by the Muppets.

I do not enjoy anytime the connection is something missing. Maybe that's just me.

So many red herrings. Brilliant grid

gozo?
I was stumped.
Smiled when I saw the connection.

Grid of the day, more like grid of the year! Loved it. Keep up the good work.

A solvable challenging head-scratcher - perfect combo thx
