Preamble: All other clues consist of two cryptic clues, side by
side. The two solutions they generate are to be
entered side by side in the grid but cyclically,
starting anywhere in the designated space. The
required starting points will be confirmed by
crossing letters and by the fact that, in the 26
squares around the perimeter of the grid, all the
letters A to Z appear once.
I have finished most of this crossword, but am stuck on the last one and a half answers!
10A Dandy old man and home bird are, with learner, leaving one
country or another (8 and 7)
I have worked out half the answer, I think that the answer to the second half of the clue "are, with learner, leaving one country or another" is Austria (being Australia without the "al"), but where does the "are" in the clue come in - does the "a" stand for "are" and the "l" stand for "learner"?
13 Building's filled by worn-out luggage, itinerant sort welcoming
month in Paris etc (8 and 7)
The first answer looks like HOLDALL (Hall + old), but this is only 7 letters when it should be 8! As for the second part of the clue which I think is "itinerant sort welcoming month in Paris etc", I have no idea what this could be.
Please can anyone help?
