Yes - there is no G in the answer !

At least I can enter by post later, when I buy the paper.

10 ac try REINforces

Is 20a stalagmites ??? It's a prison camp but don't see why the rest of the letters are in ...

Stalactites
Foreign prison = stalag minus the G (no end of cheerin(g) + etc its anagram

Sorry for the late post, but only just opened the forum. STALACTITES must be right - the way I was taught to remember it is that the C means they hang from the Ceiling, while the G is STALAGMITES means they grow from the Ground. The clue I think is most likely to be ambiguous is 16a

Barnacle Bill is right - 16 Across is ambiguous - or is it?

For those of you without the paper, the clue is: A start showing how to make a star (3,3)

The down clues give the crossing letters ?E? O?F

It had been bugging me all day yesterday - let off, set off, get off, tee off, see off - what is the answer and why?

The answer came tome this morning when I looked at the clue again. To make "a start" into "a star" you take a TEE OFF. You also TEE OFFF in a round of golf.

Like all good clues, the answer is staring you in the face but is easy when the penny drops.

Good Morning. My paper lists the clue as "A start showing how to make a start" and not star as you have stated ?

Woops - sorry my mistake it is not star it is star! ...the exclamation mark looked like a T - I should have gone to specsavers !

16 ac set off
