9A: What's sometimes poured on potato, like where one gets buried?(5)
G?A?Y
The answer is obviously 'gravy', but I cannot see how the 'e' (from 'grave ') becomes a 'y'?
Please could someone explain this to me?

Hi elle
"Like a grave" would be "gravy"? Terrible! Actually even worse, as, if such a word existed, it would be "gravey".

The worst clue I've seen for a while!

Thanks, Chris and Rossim - I'm glad that it isn't just me!
I couldn't understand it and kept looking for an ulterior meaning that I thought I must be missing!

Chris... are you planning to watch "The life of Pi" tomorrow ?

I'm not sure that you would ask that if you had got to the end of the book, elle!

The setter is having a joke, such as is used here

....hence the ? at the end of the clue

I'm only half way through the book, Chris!

Is this another ending about which we shall have to "agree to disagree"?
Tell me just one thing... should I watch the film NOW - or wait till I've finished the book? (or of course, never watch it at all?)

As usual, you have provoked my interest even further!

Don't know - I haven't seen the film in this case. In general, though, I think it's always better to finish the book before seeing the film.

Yes - it's the irritating ending (again!)

Hi jazzy

Rather like "The Uxbridge English Dictionary", as featured on "I'm sorry I haven't a clue".

The publication does exist - I have two volumes of it!
