Final clue! 5d Difficult situation time after time
accepted by prophet (3,4) H-T/-E-T. I presume the answer is HOT/SEAT but can't see the prophet!!

Hosea was a prophet

Cheers Crypto, speedy as usual! Off to Wikipedia now to read up on prophets.....not!!

Don't worry - I had to look it up!

Crypto, I have been doing cryptics for some years now with moderate success and rate the Times jumbo as the best. Thoughts?

I'm not really the best judge because I haven't been doing cryptics for very long and haven't ever tried the Times. It's only recently that I've had a bit more time (recovering from major op) but haven't graduated much past the Daily Mail. Did the Guardian Genius recently following debate on this site. Might now have a go at the Times based on your comment!

Crypto, well let me wish you well for a speedy recovery. I find the Times excellent if time consuming! Good luck.

Soldier on with your cryptic tasks. We were all once initiates. The more you do it the better you get.I remember sending in my first Times Jumbo in the mid 400's and I've sent in every one since , apart from the 6 weeks we've been unable to get the Tlmes because we've been at sea on a cruise!
