17across: risky enterprise - two chaps duped (5) b-o-d? Thanks in advance

[lexia]

Yes very unfortunate! But I certainly cannot get broad from the clue I have!! Will just have to let this one go.

Risky enterprise - two chaps duped (5)

[dannyk13]

What is the clue please Lexia?.I will contact the paper.

[dannyk13]

So what is the clue for 17 down.

[lexia]

Thanks Danny. Let me know what they say!

[lexia]

17 down is risky enterprise - two chaps let down (8)

[dannyk13]

Contacted the Telegraph who will bring the matter to the attention of the setter. They will accept Broad as the answer to 17a.

[krturner]

The clues for 17a and 17d in the paper are the same

[dannyk13]

Fully discussed above kr.

[krturner]

Never mind the setter - what about the responsibility of the crossword editor?!

[dannyk13]

No doubt he will be hauled over the coals.

[krturner]

Justly deserved!

[Mick-the-Miller]

What a cock up - (excuse my French!). The Newspaper clue for 17d has been repeated in 17a!!

17a should read 'Type of thoroughfare and what it probably isn't (5)'

[dannyk13]

Mick, already dealt with above ^^^

[lexia]

Thanks for all that Danny - it will be interesting to see what happens!

[aelmpvw]

i've seen bigger errors, the wrong grid to match the clues was once printed in the sunday people :-)

[JustConn]

Misprint in my paper. "Risky enterprise - two chaps duped"

[ubasses]

the answer is broad - the clue is wrong
