The Week 990

[SarahBandB]

Stuck on two answers. I think I know what they are, but I don't understand the clue. 16d Primarily where you'll see Ali in world book (5, 3). I think it's Above all. 26a Nuisance seen briefly in entrances to popular pubs (6-7). I think that's Double parking. Have I got them right? If so, what's the cryptic bit? Or are they wrong? Help

16d.Yes, the b0ok referred to is a dictionary.

[dannyk13]

What letters do you have for 26a?

[sedge47]

Entrances (first letters) of popular pubs are PP which is abbreviation for parking twice.

[SarahBandB]

Brilliant. It would have helped if I'd got the clue to 16d correct. I misread it as 'world book' which made no sense! And, yes, I see now how 26a works. Thanks everyone.

I tried to click two 'best answers' but it seems I can only do it once. Sorry.
