14 across: I, for one, will probably start, dear. LE_ _ E_, is this LETTER or LEADER, or something completely different?

31 across: Incline, you say, to agree. _S_E_ T. obviously ASCENT or ASSENT, but which way round is the clue?

I would go for letter on 14 across.
on 31a I would go for Ascent, which is incline and you would say that if you were agreeing
14a Letter (Dear Sir .....)
31a Good question, I took it aa (incline, you say) (to agree) = assent.
Letter starts Dear Sir etc.
As someone who does the crossword online I can confirm that

14a is Letter (Dear Sir etc)
31a is Assent (Ascent = Assent (to Agree))

I see the LETTER solution now, but 31 is clearly another one for the Telegraph Crossword Commemorative Toss-a-Coin which I'm sure they'll be marketing at �29.99 as a special offer very soon...

Do I sound cynical? Well it IS Christmas; bah humbug to vague compilers & thanks & Seasons Greetings to you all.

I'm going for ASSENT, BTW.
Hi Paul - long time, no chat. Thanks for that, but it's still a poor clue. Even the commas don't excuse the ambiguity.

By the way, how is the online site behaving? I'm so fed up paying �1.90 each Sunday for a load of rubbish and two crosswords I'm thinking of subscribing.
