What is IWCP please? Wondering if there may be a theme
first may be an anagram involving manual +i or a
9d.Waist (sounds like waste)
alumina fits the pattern
IWCP may be isle of wight county press so my theory about it being to do with chemistry looks wrong
11a.Amusing
Danny, does that work with

(2nd letter of this clue is last letter of 11a)?
Has to end in A as 9=waist
Alumina fits but don't see the connection with the clue.(Oxide of aluminium)
Is it something to do with the way it is pronounced?
Dunno, only thing I can come up with is that lumina is from the latin lumen(light),See the light?

Many thanks to all who answered. Fiction Factory - yes IWCP is local paper Isle of Wight County Press. Only word that fits is Alumina (anagram of manual+i) - has to be answer but don't see the connection with clue.
I'm still doubting this even though it was my suggestion. Not only is ALUMINA undefined, i'm also not sure that we should be using i (one) for the A- the clue may have been better saying one designed..Nor am I sure why it says "so they say"

Is it the exact full clue? Is there another word ? Are all the letters definitely right?
Is there another word after 'to be'
Question Author
Definitly the full and correct clue. All the other letters are also definitly correct. (1st 3 are simple anagrams, last letter - i - is from other missing answer (waist).
Anyway i've posted it now so many thanks for your efforts.
Okay thanks. (Think you meant A rather than I from WAIST)
I'm confused now. You initially said last letter of 11a was same as SECOND letter of 9d ie 'A'
Now you're saying 11a ends with 'I' whichnis the third letter?
Must be a setters'error or misprint. Has to be a word after 'to be' to make sense. 'Designed' is prob the anag indicator
Hi Mick- when the answer is published please can you let us know what it was
Question Author
Fiction Factory - answer will be in paper on Friday. Will let you know then.
