Hey, the March of April is over. It’s the first of May. May be time to dance around a maypole near Maidstone with the May Queen, who’s perhaps wearing common hawthorn flowers. Or perhaps go for a May Day Run. It’s also Labour Day for those who prefer to call it that.

This puzzle from “The Oracle” has some Mayday messages thrown around in it.

Try spotting them …

It’s time to strap on your Mae Wests and dive in.

All those who submit all correct entries (including answers to the questions at the end of the puzzle) have a chance to enter our “Hall of Fame”

Happy solving.
