Thanks belido - I was beginning to doubt myself. I have double checked all my entries as well and it just will not have it and I have justified every answer.
Have been checking all my answers but will not submit I have doubts about shankss pomny as it should have an apostrophe which is notossible on a tablet. Will have to wait for next week for the answers to appear in the paper. Regards to all with a degree of disappointment.
There was one the other week where the number of letters specified for a clue didnt match the correct answer spaces. Maybe see if they`ve done that again.
Is it the cryptic prize one - havent done that yet.
UK Bod - yes it's today's cryptic - 15,060 - all the answers seem normal and justifiable and fit. I remember the one you are referring to - I think the correct grid entry was "the sound of music" but music had six spaces.
