48 across:- Dear:- P?I?E
It could be Prized or Pricey, so I would welcome anybody's advice as to what they have put

[vakayu]

[vakayu]

sorry sam.

[Sam1960]

my mistake
been a long day

[vakayu]

I don't know which is correct just differing opinions?

[Sam1960]

prefer prized myself

[Sam1960]

looks like another phone call !!
lol x

[vakayu]

Ha Ha I think we got away with the record yesterday,nothing untoward that I am aware of.

[stanbesida]

The problem is that the thesaurus states both Prized and Pricey for Dear, so I assume that the Sunday Mail may accept both answers, but I thought that I would take advice from other AB'ers

[Sam1960]

my first thought was pricey !!
but as you say both answers fit !!

[vakayu]

Therein lies the problem stanbesida the choice is yours I'm afraid it all depends what they have decided on to accept or as you say hopefully realise this and provide leeway?

[SilverAnt]

Hi, I would opt for pricey, taking dear to mean expensive x

[SilverAnt]

I see the problem, yes prized possession, is more treasured, which is dear to you
and pricey is your expensive as in not cheap. does it affect any words. you will have to put an asterix beside and tell them it could be either (I ther) or is it either* (e ther). Never known which is correct. Same thing

[Sam1960]

Just had a phone call from the DR to say they will accept either answer.
Good luck.
