Has anyone done this week's TLS crossword? I'm stuck on 5ac (?O?L?S) and 22down (A?E?D). I'd be grateful for answers and explanations, please. I've exhausted all my aids. Thanks.
Any ideas on 7 down? I can't think who FG is. It's stopping me getting 4 down, which I thought was sunbonnet, but that doesn't fit with archenemy! I'm stymied! Thanks for any help available.
I'll swap any six answers you want in exchange for the answers to 73 and 88. My brain has been reduced to pulp! I just cannot get into Mizen's mind-set on these two. Many thanks in advance.
11 across. 'He drew it in front of one in a shop'. (4) I have ?ELI. Should be DELI(catessen), but if so,why? (Further evidence of declining grey matter!)
Can anyone explain how Enigmatist arrives at 'creche'? I remember when he first started setting for the Guardian. He was a sixth-former, or maybe even younger - and he hasn't become any less...
Anyone doing this week's AZ? I've worked out 'Birth date of Thomas Babington Macaulay', but are the unclued words 'curtain' and 'open'? Have they got something to do with 25th October? Any ideas...
