Someone else asked about a particular clue earlier, and I don't think anyone answered that query, so, as I was also puzzled by it, I'll bring it up again. 18 Across - "Old statesman rarely any take to at first". The answer is (Jomo) KENYATTA, and I'm wondering how "KENY" relates to the "rarely" part of the clue.

anag of 'any take' + T(o) at first

Hi Rocketman,

I did answer this when it was asked previously.

Anagram/"rarely of "ANY TAKE T(o)"

Many thanks, Brendan. I missed that! Thanks also to Shooty.

You're welcome Rocketman.

Rarely is used as the anagram indicator here:

Rarely = Exceptionally, Unusually, Remarkably ETC
