Good afternoon RT-ers
Yes, I did buy the RT today and it is still £2.00
I found it fairly straightforward, but I was stuck on a couple of clues, for far too long!
Hope everyone is well.

Mine didn't come today! Golf tomorrow morning, so it will have to be later before I try it.

It has disrupted my entire week!

Just stopped raining - we may take the dog out this afternoon.

I did wonder where you were Chris.
You are usually one of the first to finish.
Will try to avoid "spoilers" on this thread, as usual.

Hi Jazzgirl, glad you are still with the RT thread, I agree with your comment as this weeks puzzle seemed a lot easier than of late. For once I have been able to Parse ALL the clues, I think that's a first for me...

Hi all. With respect to those still waiting, may I caution that I believe the first letter of the clue for 8a is wrong. Also, I understand (belatedly!) from a contributor to TAB that the answer required for 9d is actually a misspelling: a letter short.

hi xfan
I agree with you regarding 9d. There is usually an S at the end.
I cannot see anything wrong with 8a.
"That" (French) is the first 3 letters,
There is another French word for "that" (2 letters) though in a different context.

Good xfan :)
I was thinking of "afin ***" (so that)
autant *** (as far as that)
