2d] Digger's residence in Kent, for instance. [5] S?A?E.

14d] Extremely old injury. [4] ?O?E.

[Oldred]

s pad e
sore ?

[cupid04]

I agree that an injury is a sore but what is the extremely old connection, please?
Thankyou Oldred.

[Duncer]

Yes, somebody explain this one for me please as I really don't get it?

[chrispybacon]

We're all in the same boat! I feel really sore about this one!

[chrispybacon]

14d is spade digger = spade, residence is pad, Kent is in the South East (SE)>

[Duncer]

Not so much sore, just utterly baffled mate. I can't even see where to begin with this one. I need a beer!

[slaney]

In old English "sore" could be used as an adverb meaning "severely" (and perhaps extremely"?) as in "they were sore afraid", so perhaps double definition .

[Duncer]

Tenuous, but plausible. Beer beware, here I come now.

[cupid04]

I think the answer to 14d is DOLE [anagram of old and e from extremely.
Chambers says DOLE:- pain or grief [archaic and dialect] Latin from Dolere to feel
pain.

[slaney]

I wondered about DOLE as well cupid, but rejected it as there is no anagram indicator, and I had difficulty in equating "extremely" with "e" - but you may well be right if it is a simple descriptive clue.

[chrispybacon]

I'll go for "dole" which was also on my list of possibilities.The last explanation seems almost plausible - thanks! I'm off to catch the 1730 local collection.

[ripvanwinkle]

i'm going with slaney - an old injury is a sore and old meaning of sore is extremely
