I don’t understand why! I have them both as downs (with indications in the clues), and everything fits. The only inconsistent indication I can see is P, which also suggests down.
I must be missing something.
I can’t see a way to enter all the answers which have possible direction indicators in the clues as apparently indicated. I’ve gone with B and the first V having the most obvious indicators but that means ignoring what I agree look very like indicators of the same direction in D and P.
Dammit, I forgot about the D and carelessly entered it as an across having decided that B and chicken V had down indications.
You’re right, chrise, but I’m not happy about it!
