The only one I can't explain today:

1 dn "Seat used by person of authority (4)"

I have put "SOFA", by why?

I can see "OFA" within "... person OF Authority", but where does the "S" come from?

Perhaps I'm totally wrong?!

I also thought safe seat as sofa made little sense.

Thanks, k. I did think of "safe" but why is that? What has it to do with person of authority?

the top politicians tend to have safe seats or if you are in a safe seat then you are in authority

kayakamina

I don't like the clue but it could be that a person in authority can select a 'safe' seat - such is their seniority.

Just to throw this into the mixing bowl - I wondered if it could be a soft seat? Understand this is an option on Chinese trains .... maybe?

I think this is yet another misprint in The Times crossword clues.

I believe it should be "Seat used by persons of authority" i.e. personS OF Authority...
