Jumbo 1339 Cryptic
I can't remember who suggested the Irish edition of the Times might have the jumbo. It does. But the section it appears in back home isn't printed here. Still, I looked more carefully and found it. So, thank you.
It has filled in gaps in the walking, eating etc. (The weather is Irish)
I am VERY proud that I worked out "dimetrodons" crosswordly. I had never heard of them but I checked my "trod on" in "dimes" and there it was!
But (of course, this is me) there's a couple where I can't work out the reasoning. The big one is "string player's jamming style? The answer MUST be" bottle neck guitar".jam, bottle. OK. But is that it?
Another is "satellite receiver to come down after swapping three components" The answer is either minidish or diminish. Both fit and, of course, they are anagrams. But which takes precedence?
And, finally, "form of agreement extended by adding a second" "okay" fits. Is that it?
As always, please advise.
