ST 4308 27d) strokes hares
7 Answers
27d) strokes hares = Dashes or Dasher ?
I can see that dashes are strokes and someone who hares around dashes but a dasher makes strokes and also hares around. plus the last 5 letters 'asher' is an anagram of 'hares' and 'dasher' fits with the general xmas theme ?
I guess without the xmas theme I would plumb for consistencny of 's' (same tense) but ... seek more clever advice please - thank you.

Persevere with the cryptics as you will get a lot of satisfaction from them. For someone starting out you will find that you can sometimes solve a clue from the crossing letters, but always try to work the answer back to the clue itself so that you understand the wordplay.
Of course always ask if you are unsure- all the people on the site were starters at some stage and will be happy to help.
Good luck K
