Culmer, in response to your mechanically sound write-in clue, which to me has a meaningless surface - Over the period I have contributed to both Clueless & Peer Review I may well have occasionally disagreed with the host's or majority's decision based on various grounds; "faulty" mechanics, invalid tense or placement of anagrind to name but a couple but in these cases (unless some constructive criticism has already appeared prior to me posting) I've politely congratulated the winner, thanked the host and kept any negative thoughts to myself.

Thanks to Buddy & Aristo for explaining the clue. I`ve not made any negative comments about either the clue or the host - the only thing I`m guilty of is not being able to solve an excellent clue.

I think there must be more to the clue than buddy and aristo's parsing, as that would give DIP SAP EAR. The SAP must "appear" inside the DIP.

Chris, SAP ‘tucks into’ DIP followed by EAR i.e. DI(SAP)P EAR

I like it Ginge!

chrise: Yes, that's what I said. SAP is in DIP, then EAR.
