I agree totally with Malone at comment 41. Ever the voice of reason. There really is no need for any unpleasantness in a forum like this.
We are a community of like-minded souls and should behave with the common courtesy that this demands.
The problem with giving answers at an early stage is that someone seeking help on a different clue may see an as yet unsolved answer inadvertently and have their enjoyment impaired. Hints yes, but answers only perhaps when a couple of days have passed.

Thanks, TonyNannini and I agree with what you say about the community of like-minded souls, the need for common courtesy and so on. I had hoped Admin's use of two threads would cause less friction - and help some newer Listener solvers (including me) along the way... I didn't get that right!

As this is a Crossword Help Forum, I don't think we - members - can get too outraged at someone asking for answers. I'd have to look back, but I don't think many have been asked for - and fewer given! - since the new approach came into being.

buzzb - Bravo! for your post 40 - very well put - I totally agree, and think many others will too.

Who was unpleasant? How? Admin said some people thought it was me. That I was terse and didn't say please. I have had 2 strokes and can barely type. I hope you are all very proud of yourselves please

One person said to admin that he would send the boys round. to an invalid? He's a big man. V unpleasant. All because I wanted 2 answers. Shame on you pllease

Still can't see 28a despite earlier advice. Is it in Chambers? Have tried searching without LY at end too. Maybe help on what type of game is involved would help.
Also need help on 10d and 29d. Despite Malone saying they were easy ones two days ago!

lumen - 10D: Kent is a usual indicator for 2 letter abbreviation. Need to move one letter from 1st to 2nd word. Hope this helps.

And 29D has same movement of letter, to give an unusual spelling of last word definition.

Lumen, I meant to send you a quick apology -some of my numbers, suggestions, were wrong. I'd done my answer from my phone and didn't spot this until yesterday.

28a Three letter childrens playground game normally spelt
with the middle letter different.
