Strange to find nothing her on in The Other Place by the middle of Saturday afternoon … can this be because there appears to be a problem with the Maxim revealed by the Across lights? I have, with one letter wrong, an apt maxim of the correct length. But I need two Ns and only one S, whereas the lights give one N and two, er, "esses". Is it me, or has Homer nodded? Or are there two apt maxims differing by just that one pesky letter?

Hi cockie, are you remembering the preamble about 3 hung over impostors? There are 5 potential (iii)s among the across omitted letters so perhaps it's worth which 3 you've allocated to this category.

Oops, worth checking.

Thanks, ginge.

Hi,

I have an item (11 letters) and a full grid, but for the life of me I cannot parse 14a. A HINT would be welcome. Also, are all the hangovers in the same place (i.e. in the answers)? as (i) clues appear to allow both ends.

Hi gitto, it's not easy to give a hint to 14a without making the parsing obvious. It is an "unaffected" across entry so wordplay omits 1 letter. If you need a further push post again.
Yes, all hangovers are consistent.

Re 14 across: I believe that "Georgia" refers to the country, rather than the US state. I surmise that the letter not indicated by the wordplay is the fourth.
Caveat: I don't know how "to the west" fits in.

In 14 think hidden.

Thank you, unclued - I understand now.

Please ignore my first posting (number 6); it isn't helpful.
