Got myself into a pickle this week...having problems with one particular clue...
17d. Wood-joint (5) I think I have T??ON
T comes from DRAFT (Outline)
O comes from CONSUL (Envoy)
N comes from BARBARIAN (Uncivilised person)
The second letter is the first letter of "Call Up (5) which I thought was PHONE as I have the O and E.....but P doesn't fit as second letter of 17a answer!!
