An odd one, and one that's definitely wrong this week!

Odd one:
Sweet plumber, place elsewhere (5,7)
a) surface makes no sense
b) have you ever seen that anagram indicator?

Wrong one:
Office kiss underneath furniture (7)
The answer is plural!

ChrisE, those are awful - especially the second one! How did the clue, answer, get through? The first one isn't quite so bad. Yes, the surface reading is a bit grim, but I have to say I couldn't decide whether or not I liked 'elsewhere' as an anagram indicator.

If the kiss is underneath 'office' ...
furniture is plural

Tyke51, well done - and it shows I shouldn't leap to what I think is the answer!

Hi! I’ve not been here for a while but this crossword is driving me mad. I can’t get 16 across - any advice please?

16 is a not very common word for trying to undermine a government or similar, with the first letter deleted

No problem, flossie

As malone said on the now deleted thread, try to give the clue, the letter count, and any letters placed when you ask for guidance!
