bang?

[Captain2]

Trug

[newmodarmy]

No, can't justify it as handbag

[newmodarmy]

of course- i'm too used to doing cryptics and thought it might be hidden in the clue

[Toorak]

It's trug - initial letters in clue

[Toorak]

Part of the clue is missing which indicates initial letters

[newmodarmy]

Oh I missed that- although I'd have expected something like initially or promarily in there

[Captain2]

It is cryptic 😉😁

crossed posts Toorak, thanks.

[newmodarmy]

It is indeed cryptic Captain... or at least it is when the rest of the clue is included!

[Mofin01]

Thanks a million everyone,  I'd never have got that!

I noticed that at the end of some of the clues it says "37 across" ...I take it that that is a mistake 🤔

[newmodarmy]

No. It's used as an indicator to use intial letters. judging by this 31d clue

[newmodarmy]

37a was FROM THE GET GO

[Mofin01]

Wow newmodarmy thanks for that explanation , it makes sense now and I did think of that !

[newmodarmy]

It's Toorak who should get the credit

[Mofin01]

Thanks Toorak 😊
