Skeleton (2)

[Caran]

The paper phoned back.
The clue for 28 a should read:-
Faithless, this false deviant is disbelieving.
So it looks as if the answer is Faithless.

Dont forget 27 across which was also wrong clue is now
Plant consisting of two leaves'
make this to be dill.

Nice to know we weren't all going mad. Thanks for that Caran.

I thought the 27 clue fool a trainee etc was ok dot around l

[ubasses]

Like mallyh I thought the clue for 27 was fine and the answer fitted the grid!

[planeman]

Still don't understand (a) why have SX quoted apparent answer at beginning of clue ( as quoted by Caran) and (b) is the clue given originally at 27 totally incorrect and not relevant to this crossword ??

[Caran]

Do you think it's worth posting the solution, they usually disqualify tipped?

[dannyk13]

Planeman The amended clues are:-
27a.Plant consisting of two leaves
28a.This false deviant is disbelieving.

[Caran]

Tippex!!

[dannyk13]

Caran I think that Tip-Ex is acceptable.I have used it a lot recently.:-)

[Caran]

Thanks dannyk13

[mallyh]

Caren how do you know tippex ones are disqualified ?

[Caran]

I read it somewhere, can't remember now.
