[Beatrice35]

Of course :-) This makes 1 down either blurbs or brumby yet cannot understand this so need your help Kayakamina please

[Beatrice35]

2down) Entity or Estate?
E>t>t>

[Beatrice35]

3down) C?r?o?
Cursor or carrot, perhaps?

[kayakamina]

Is there no mention of HARD in 1d ?

Sorry to be pedantic but the clue won't work without an H

[Beatrice35]

Am confused big time now- Kayakamina hope you or another poster here can make sense of this all for Bea soon. Really appreciate all help. As long as anyone tries that is all that matters to me- welcome all suggestions.

2d Astute

[Beatrice35]

Oh my gosh, you are right left out the hard-many apologies!!
Thanks Kayakamina- just double checked this moment!

[Beatrice35]

Yet, Beefcake is right for 1 across surely? So how can 1 down be chubby?

[Beatrice35]

If Chubby is right and Astute is right then this leaves 1a) C?a???k?

Help please!! Unravel this mystery for me please

Thought Beefcake as Meat=Beef + dessert=Cake

Open to any suggestions

[kayakamina]

Is 1d Not C LAMB AKE which will give the C in C H UBBY ?

[Beatrice35]

Helpful non sniping/ non catty suggestions meant to have said ;-)

[Beatrice35]

Thanks kayakamina- you are a genius + really appreciate your help here + you too glasman :-) :-)

[kayakamina]

I've ben on to the FT site and the clue you gave was wrong!

Brocolli, perhaps, contains HARD fat (6)

Not having the full clue makes a lot of difference!

[Beatrice35]

Kayakamina - can you let me know 3 down please
C?r?o?
Take up line to adopt
Mtia :-)
You two stars- Kayakamina and Glasman are fantastic!! Have a great day this fine Thursday :-)

[Beatrice35]

Do not lie- easy to miss something out by accident. Have a printed out version which is not easy to read + did not realise that left out a word as never go to mislead anyone ever as not in my nature.
With 3 down complete have a completed crossword thanks to you lovely posters Kayakamina and Glasman :-)
