30(a) chap from belgium is a loyal subject l?e?e?e? so it's liegemen but that's pleurisy

[elliemay1]

Do you mean plural?

As it is 'chap' and 'a loyal subject' then must be ....man

[elliemay1]

What gave you the last e?

[bibblebub]

i found that too but the E is definitely right so must be a setter error

[bibblebub]

for anyone interested the final E is given by the last letter of the down clue:-

I creep around and force a way in (6)

for which the answer is 'piercE'

[diac]

but then 25(d) i creep around and force a way in (6) pi?r?? isn't pierce but ends in a and is a very deviant spalling

thanks for commiserating
