This is a bit trickier this week, as there is another instruction once you have the answers..when I work out what it means! If anyone does this can they help?

[paulineward]

[paulineward]

Before any asks ..no I have rarely done this one on my own...once I think and got great accolade from K!
I just cannot tune in to compilers way of thinking..that's my excuse...and sticking to it. And of course I like to share my crosswords with others..now after all that garbage...can you do..

[paulineward]

Thanks kettledrum!

[kettledrum]

1d ? townie ? I don't awfully like it - own / individual in tie

[paulineward]

can see how you got it..the clues can be a bit 'iffy' can't they...THAT'S why I don't get them!.How was London by the way?

[kettledrum]

I'm afraid I can't see 33a at all. London was exhausting! I'll email you.

[paulineward]

Thanks a lot kettledrum. Will see if I can scan it and e-mail to you, tomorrow, you will then be able to see the extra instruction and explain it too me. Give me time just in case BT surprise me and come early!
Thanks for your help tonight.
Love Pauline...thanks to everyone else also!

[kettledrum]

33a. agnostic - anag (tight!) 'a costing'

[paulineward]

You're a star!..will mail you tomorrow with others...your head will be spinning now! If I don't see you elsewhere..goodnight. x

[kettledrum]

Goodnight Pauline

Pauline,
When you read the preamble it says that there are words to change. The unclued one is Blair ---- and (Gordon) Brown is hoping to succeed him. Changing Blair to Brown will change some other answers but they are still proper words

[paulineward]

Thanks Ulysses. Guessed unclued one was Blair, but the preamble was confusing...well to me anyway!!! Thanks for that.
