You may well be right.

Tony: Okay, I suppose that works. Thanks! I'm finished then- though I still don't get the RIC at the end of 12D. Is that a Brit thing? (There's something called a RIC tax in the US...) I do get LOST in ALE, but I'm assuming that the tail end has something to do with "fine".

Hi aristophanes
I don't have the clue but maybe Rich without the last letter??

Relating to enzymes not found in beer? Fine.
ALLOSTERIC- LOST in ALE, but I don't see how "rich" works.

Sorry, just a guess.
if i'd seen the clue i would not have suggested it.
Maybe your Tax idea is right. not the most helpful reply,i know.
best luck.

Thanks, Trevor. I'll perhaps wake up in the night and call out "RIC! I've got it!" and run through the streets like Archimedes, though in rural Massachusetts instead of Syracuse, and probably with my clothes on.

I see that one of the things that RIC is an acronym for is routine infant circumcision. But would we all agree that that's fine?

Eww- I was looking for an acronym too along the lines of Roger I Concur. no luck tho.

Why does the setter give 1a as 12 letters? The perennial plant is surely 4-3-5 ??i
