24a.Owen (poet) - O(love) + new (fresh) reversed.
Question Author
Linesman as poet. I’m sure the profession will be pleased with that! The e/a conundrum still gives me doubt. The clue, I think, is ambiguous in its emphasis and consequently its intended direction. But thanks for your help, as ever.
Yes, I agree that it's ambiguous
Don't see any ambiguity really.
Stationery (writing material) sounds like(delivered) stationary(still)
Question Author
We’ll agree to differ, then.
Highbury, why do you think that it is ambiguous?
Question Author
Because the clue could tip the answer in either direction, hence my original comment and I guess by Elliemay1.
The definition is either at the start or the end of a clue - in this case it's 'Writing material'
