6d Watchman

[Captain2]

3/21a Reimbursement

[Captain2]

2/4d Imbecile

[wardlaw]

2/7a temperamental

[wardlaw]

17a is the's' correct? I had thought 'lunacy'

[wardlaw]

10a could it simply be 'middle'?

[cupid04]

10a] middle?

[cupid04]

9a] contradiction

[starmack]

17a letters I had were S?N?C?

Lunacy looks good but the S would need to become an L My S came from Single as answer to Solitary

[wardlaw]

21a Could the 'N' be in the wrong place? I thought 'chronicler'

[cupid04]

4d] imbecile

[cupid04]

lonely=solitary

[starmack]

Switched the N, yeah CHRONICLER. The clue 'Becoming a parent to somebody else's child is Adoption rather than adopting....

Thanks for all help. Grid three still has holes!

the only other 13 letter word I can find for inconsistency is unreliability.
