Is 100a 6 or 7 letters (you say 7 but show 6)?

[Lie-in King]

100a Braise
96d Faults (?)

[factor-fiction]

Braise if you meant to say 6 letters

[clairehunie1]

should have been 6

[Lie-in King]

Oops, sorry, didn't count...

[clairehunie1]

[Lie-in King]

Are you sure of the 'S'?

Garnet (?)

[clairehunie1]

problems sorted 107a is garnet which leaves faults for 96d

Thanks everyone

I'm confused- are you saying 100a doesn't now begin with b?

[Lie-in King]

You're confusing me now, factor :-)

[quinie]

100a begins with a b (from 80d baked Beans)

[factor-fiction]

Sorry lie-in king. The OP said the 100a was B????E (7) and so I queried it- then you said BRAISE and she said "should have said s??n??"- I thought this was an answer to my query but it seems it related to another clue.
