Like noeyedear, I'm stuck on 13d for my LOI, but the penny is refusing to drop! I can imagine a | * E * T | word that could be the 'support' , but there are many possible | * R * O * S | first words and none are leaping out at me. A nudge would be very helpful...

( I too took the wrong end of the stick in 20d! (but I agree the 'measure' is rather misleading) )

At last. My PDM for 13d. (Confess I had searched an answer with a tool but the first word did not appear, so spent the day very frustrated). I am enjoying the recent Everymans. My CoD for is 27a. Must use 10d more often in conversations.

Will Rev Spooner appear again I wonder. Or perhaps like my front door - lock nightly!

I had to google 13. Key is "It comes out at night", think of something related to a constellation.

Apologies, not a very good spoonerism.

I've given up attempting Everymans, but I was intrigued by several comments on 13d. If you look up on a clear winter night, it's one of the most recognisable features!

Thanks Monabuck - I get it now!

Like you (and others) 13d was my LOI

Gosh. 'Support for a hunter', indeed! That's a 50p PDM that is! Thanks folks!
