Well, yesterday we had this poor clue:
24A Sucker's starting price swindle (5)
Answer: SPRIG
and today we have a marginally better one:
24D Spanish engineer to shoot (5)
Yes, you guessed it, answer: SPRIG
I have seen this before in several publications where the same answer is repeated very shortly after first appearing. You'ld think that the editor would pick up on this and have a buffer stock of crosswords ready. Or maybe not.
