19a club masters 4 ??C?
thanks

[lashley]

now have 19a

[writesbad]

10a back - b(l)ack

[factor-fiction]

Have you mistyped the end of the clue for 12a? It says INELLCE (intelligence?)

[factor-fiction]

NITWIT -not sure where T comes from though

[lashley]

sorry factor-should be intelligence

[factor-fiction]

should 12 a start "not in the wider interests THEN"?- so initial letters (primarily) would be NITWIT

[mojay]

n is from N ot

[ichkeria]

What, exactly, is the correct clue for 12ac? What you have typed makes no sense.

[lashley]

i thought nitwit but that contradicts 8d girl's love for east african country
?N?N?A,if nitwit is right-provides 2nd n-but angela fits clue=girl and swop love=o for e,hence my letters for 12a

[factor-fiction]

Eh mojay? I had N from Not.
Not In The Wider Interests Then.
I don't really understand the rest of the clue though

[lashley]

12a clue is
'not in the wider interests'primarily wrong-best showing some intelligence

[ichkeria]

"8d girl's love for east african country "
would be Angola, not Angela

[mojay]

sorry Factor - senior moment - I misread ( that's my excuse! :-) )

[factor-fiction]

Okay- please type clue for 12A exactly and what the letters are if Angela is right (Angela/Angola seems okay)

[lashley]

there's no 'then' in the clue!

[ichkeria]

...therefore it's OUTWIT

[factor-fiction]

Just to clarify- it's ANGOLA

[stymied]

Have you got the correct first letter for 12ac. I think
I recall answer to be OUTWIT

[writesbad]

outwit out = not in
(t)he (w)ider (i)nterests t, w, i wrong, ie anag
outwit = best using intelligence
