Speccie 2567

[Farrwest]

In the instructions to 2567 Fieldfare uses the expression 'as found pleasingly in Brewer'.
Is the word 'pleasingly' a red herring. If not, why did he use it?

[roslyn251254]

Is it to do with the pleasing/musical collection ??

[Farrwest]

I suppose so!

Can either of you shed some light on 21A Hairy coats regularly end up in in African city(7) i have LA ???O?

7 The fine hair on a baby for example
16 is a former currency
27 No. your second b is wrong

Lagos is the city.
Currency .... try Lithuania.

I found the following, johnpiper:
21(A) The African city is LAGOS.
16(A) LITAI
27(A) BOURDON

I am almost there with this one. I’m left with
The UNCLUED 8 for which I do not yet want the answer. I have: ?OR?S?U?T and would like to know with which other UNCLUED(S) it is associated with. Thanks!

[jazzgirl]

8d is three words , Your S should be d

[teacher1]

Your s is wrong. It should be ?or?e?u?t

[jazzgirl]

sorry, e not d

[Matakari]

Thanks, jazzgirl, it looks good now, just one thing, the instructions say "Ignore three accents and one apostrophe." I see the apostrophe, but only one accent, and it appears in 2(D). I'm taking another look.

[Neveracrossword]

Matakari, there are accents in two of the answers I gave you earlier.

[Matakari]

Thanks, NACW!

[Neveracrossword]

Matakari, you're welcome. You'd probably have spotted the accents yourself if you'd done the solving, confirmed them in Chambers!
Better luck next week...
