Hi Teenieleek,

8a - the "priest" is 6 letters (not 4, like I originally thought) minus it's last letter/shortly around/acquiring "a" then 4 letter "coarse fabric" minus the extra letter.

1d - first 3 letters are a 4 letter "festival" minus extra letter then 3 letter "support" and 3 letter "rubbish" reversed/upset.

20a - What category did you put him in? I know what he does but it doesn't seem to match with any of them.

In 8ac you're looking for a word meaning "coarse fabric" which includes the last three letters. The "t" is part of the shortened priest. In 1dn the first three letters are part of a word meaning festival.
I am still stuck in the top lefthand corner. Any hints fo 1ac, 10ac, 2dn and 9dn most welcome.

This is most perplexing! I wrote a response to Teenieleek's post @36 that seems to appear if I'm signed in and disappear when I'm signed out?

Can anyone else see it? it begins ...

Okay, there's obviously a problem so I've notified Norah.

Can someone give a 👍 if they can see this post.

Looks like this thread's got stuck again so I'll try bumping it...

teenieleek - I think 10 has a 6-letter partner and is defined by the extra word in 11

Can see your post now, Brendan (and others above). I put 20 across in the category defined by the extra word in 28 across, though from the Wiki entry it doesn't seem quite right.

I have the extra word in 11 defining 4 down, Prospero?

Thanks Loge, I think you might be the only one who can see my posts!

I've got the extra word in 28a as applying to 4d - she's a radio .....

But if you look her up on Wiki, her first profession is listed as the extra word from 11!
