yes, originally it presented itself rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise. so e.g. the 4 in B4 was at F2.

 Apologies to people up before 6am. Yes the puzzle was incorrectly rotated and this affected a table join I needed. Last week was panned as too easy so I moved some stock around.

@Andrew: Don't listen to the "too easy" screamers. Yes, last week was easy, but not too easy. It was definitely a 5*. Some people must accept that sometimes a puzzle is below their level, that's life.

 I agree with Cosmanita, tg, Hel, ThomasF. 78 on HJ1 produces an instant conflict in col 3, wouldn't call this a chain.
