I think you would be a lot less confused if the original thread actually contained the whole clue.
"Fish drift off shortly after journey back" drift off shortly - slee(p) journey back - reverse word to get eels.
Thank you RL. So journey does NOT = sleep. Why couldn't Dandelion say what you did instead of just repeating bollocks all the time. He must have known what the actual clue was.
no problem chris - I did the crossword this morning - had to retrieve the paper from the recycling bin to get the clue - always helps if the actual clue is given to begin with.
Once again I apologise to Chris and to any others who may have joined the thread and been confused. I'm afraid I did know the original clue in full and unforuntately focused on the original thread.
a part of a clue is worse than no clue at all.
At least Chris and myself didn't bother wasting time trying to get Chester.
Dandelion,if you knew the answers already,why didn't you point out the whole clue and stop wasting time?
Dandelion,no apology needed,i thought i was missing something really obvious(like a brain).
Jane should give clues,whole clues,...and the rest of the clues.
