No best answer has yet been selected by Matakari. Once a best answer has been selected, it will be shown here.
For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Here’s the preamble that I omitted to supply, Cashier:
For each clue, one apposite letter is absent from the wordplay. Clues are listed alphabetically by answer. Answers should be fitted into the numbered grid. Chambers Dictionary is recommended but does not give one commonly used entry.
Number of letters for this clue: 5
Turnover of three-hundred dairies containing teats (5)
Thanks again

Matakari, there are two long answers - and the answer has been given for one of them, as as half the other. There are only 26 answers - note the 26! - and you've now been given quite a few. Have you tried fitting them in round the long answers?
Giving you the placements would 'get you out of the wilderness', but it could mean you don't end up doing very much! And that would be a shame, it's a good puzzle.

I understand you,NACW, but I did not mean to give me the placements for all of the clues, just for the few that I already have and then I will work from there to get the rest. For example, am I right with these? First, the two long ones:
Is 2(D) TELEPHONE...
5(D) Go ASK YOUR...
3(D) FIANCEE
12(A) CHANNEL
I have other answers and if they are correct, I'll certainly enjoy fitting them in:
POINTER, FRAUD, ADAGE, MUSTY
Thanks for your guidance!
Is 2(D) TELEPHONE...
5(D) Go ASK YOUR...
3(D) FIANCEE
12(A) CHANNEL
I have other answers and if they are correct, I'll certainly enjoy fitting them in:
POINTER, FRAUD, ADAGE, MUSTY
Thanks for your guidance!
Matakari, I'm sorry if I'm sounding impatient, testy but if you'd followed the advice given in your first batch, you'd have certainly been able to enter some answers! The answer to 12 A could have been entered on Sunday - as you were told where it went. That would have shown you where the long answers went and you'd have made steady progress, I'm sure.
My 'guidance' -Pointer at 16 A, Adage at 4 D, Fraud at 1 D. There is no Musty.
