I've been hobbling along with this crossword for a couple of weeks now,and it's driving me mad...I've just about finished it,but I'm missing 7a...
Croissant?In Paris read article about organic one (6)
...One word in the clue is superfluous,and I have _ U _ U _E
Also 10a...
Unfinished opera is composed about dry I talian folk enjoying music (8)
I have R _ S _ E _ T _ ,and 'enjoying ' has to be the superfluous word....
Also,I don't get the special instructions....I won't reproduce them here,as I think someone will have had to have done the crossword to explain them to me,but I don't see any way to 'order perimeter geographically' without messing up all the clues...I see an anagram of Bolton at the top,(Barnes at the bottom..? )other than that I'm stumped...
Thanks,
AB

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.You should have (starting at top left going clockwise) round the perimeter TON BOLTON TOTNES BARNET MAL (mal + ton = malton)
Now change BOL for MAL, TOT for BAR , NES for NET, BAR for TOT, NEt for NES, MAL for BOL. Now you have round the perimeter BOLTON (northwest corner) MALTON (north east corner) BARNET (s e corner) & TOTNES (s w corner) so the towns are in their correct geographical positions.
