[sincnoel]

c'mon ... it wasn't all that cryptic!

[outrageous]

Thanks Samurite ... All done now

[JoolsTwo]

Sorry - I'm not into cryptics clues and Jim is not around. Could someone explain how you get that answer? Because I can't see it. Thanks Jools

[sarumite]

Hi Jools .. Trots = followers of Trotsky who was a " left winger" .... also Trots = steady pace.

[Aquagility]

Trotski-ites - left wingers - trots - steady pace

[JoolsTwo]

Ofcourse simple when explained. I just don't have a brain for cryptic clues. I hope she doesn't keep that up.

Thanks samurite and Aquagility

What about an anagram in a general knowledge crossword, see 18a?

[cheshunt]

I agree. General knowledge should be just that and not contain cryptic clues if for no other reason than I am useless at them. My brain just doesn't work that way.

[Nell]

I agree with Cheshunt and JimJools re cryptic clues - my brain doesn't work that way either - fine when they are explained though. Regards Nell
