Would someone be good enough to explain the answers to12D Crowd free news item being Press Release and17D Noisily drink litre fot amusement being Carousel. Cant figure these out!!!! Many thanks in advance.

[tommy-h]

you cannot be serious

[boxtops]

Crowd = Press
Free = release

[BigMac]

Carousel - roundabout - amusement
carouse - drink noisily + L (litre) = carousel

[EMor1]

carouse (drink noisily) + l (for litre) = carousel (amusement )

[Psybbo]

carouse noisily l litre

[snipebird]

To boxtops and BigMac my sincere THANKS

[snipebird]

and to Emor1 and sibton my sincere THANKS

Unnecessary response from tommy-h. people on this site are unfailingly courteous and helpful.

I agree with dwil. Perhaps tommy-h should stick to the Crossword Help Forum, where remarks such as his are quite commonplace
