Sorry, Capeman, I overlooked the 'not accepted on-line' and thought you were asking about the clue. Your answer seems totally correct, so I hope someone else can help - I do only the print version.

I understand why it should be gaffe but the paper will not accept that as the answer and all the letters are correct as it is the only answer wrong!

Thanks, Capeman. There are definitely other ABers who do the crosswords online, so I hope one of them comes along this morning - it must be irksome not to have your answer accepted.
