Week 1076

[cracker222]

6d William looking down on his grandmother, one associated with hoarding (4-6) BILL-POSTER. Where does POST come from?

[Toorak]

I don't think it's good clue

Post = looking down?

Would have worked better if it was just 'after' rather than ' looking down'

[cracker222]

I cannot fathom it either. I wonder if Tim Moorey lurks here...

[Toorak]

Who is Tim Moorey?

[Toorak]

Ok - just googled him :-)

[fiction-factory]

is it to do with Prince william and his grandmother ER?

[cracker222]

He compiles The Week crosswords. He also wrote a book "How To Master The Times Crossword". I must get around to reading (/doing) the last third of that book

[cracker222]

Yes FF, ER is Bill's grandmother, but we can't work out the POST bit

[elliemay1]

you look down from a lookout post??

[Mamyalynne]

Seen on another site...

Prince William would look down(sad) when His Grandmother died (Post).

[bookbinder]

Bill (William) comes after (post) his grandmother (er). I throw that into the ring, and wait to have it shot to pieces.

[fiction-factory]

Is BILL-POSTER definitely the answer?

[cracker222]

Good point f-f. The solution has not yet been published. The crossers are: ?I?L-?O?T?R

[geevo]

One associated with hoarding must be BILL-POSTER?
So we have BILL and POST (afterwards, looking down as it's a down clue) and then ER.

Well, that's how I see it :)

[Davemano]

Knowing now that it is a Down clue, makes it look better

[geevo]

I know it's a down clue cos the OP put 6d

[Davemano]

geevo - I missed that by just looking at the meat.
