It's defeated me this week.I can't resolve the two unclued lights at 1A and 8D
I have
1A S?I?I?G
8d SAV?E?
I looked up the headword in Chambers but can't find any definition of the word to fit unless I have something wrong elsewhere,but I don't think so.
1A I think that's involved in the double duty. It's definitely listed in my Chambers. Your letters are fine. It might be one of the double duty ones, I think 13 A might help. (There was a lot of dictionary reading involved, so I now can't remember all the details!)
98. Your V is wrong - and the answer is definitely in Chambers too.
Thanks Neveracrossword. I have the V from Ingvar for the V in 8D
I'll have to have another think.I thought (Ing) field and Var(tailess Vare)a weasel.Ingvar being a scandinavian chap.
Yes a lot of reading today and I've read it all several times ! Thanks for your help.
