5d.Rickets
24a.Remodel

[gangesboy]

24 I think it is remodel. I think the setter has missed out the word UP. Do up maiden etc etc. I could be wrong though

[dannyk13]

No, poster has put clue as it is written

[gangesboy]

I said setter/compiler not poster. I think the parsing would be better with the inclusion of UP

[dannyk13]

Do up or do over seem the same to me.

[mallyh]

i can see do up but can't see the material

[aelmpvw]

length of material = reel + m od

[dannyk13]

Mally - do m reversed in reel (length of material)

[mallyh]
