Hi Susan,“Run” is R, and PACE “up” gives you the ECAP part.
You’ll kick yourself – it’s ABATE. “BATE” sounds like “bait”, which is the temptation part.
Hi Susan,No problem. You need a synonym for a lawbreaker, then a slang one for prison, then two letters given to you with “a liberal”. The whole word describes a certain type of visitation rights...
Rather to my surprise, I've finished the Cryptic. There are one or two answers I'm not entirely sure about, but they fit in nicely and I'm satisfied with them! 13 across is: Booming factory hides dope (Letters: - L - N - E - TPLANGENT seems to fit, but could you please say where the dope is?
Plant is the factoryThat leaves Gen which can mean information, as can dope.
Slow start; long clues; several for 3 or 4 letter answers, and 4 15-lwrrwe onwa.13Across: Rocky pass, one circling a safe place to walk (7,8)Letters: - E - I - - and none of the other 8.Could I please have a yes/no for: is the second word CROSSING? Sounds like a good guess, I'm hoping.ETA I suppose it could be PELICAN CROSSING, but I think this cryptic is going to be one of those where a measure of guesswork is useful and I don't see the answer to the 'why' questions until later on.
Hi Susan,You’ve got it - anagram (“rocky”) of “pass, one circling”. [/quoteThank you. I still can't see the 'one' though ... never mind, I might catch up in a day or two!!]
Taking it nice and slowly this week, I am on:3 down:Georges perhaps one involved with gun schemes? (9,6)Letters: - U – O – A - - - / P – L - - -AUTOMATIC PILOTS fits nicely, but I would be grateful, please, for a yes, no, or hopeless!
It's correct.
Thank you. I still can't see the 'one' though ... never mind, I might catch up in a day or two!!]
Hi Susan,No problem. You’re over thinking it though I think – it’s just an anagram of the words “pass one circling”.
Down to three now. May I have hints, please, for18 down: Spooner becomes confused about international killer ( Letters: P - I - O - E –
7 down: Become friendlier, we hear, finding God (6)Letters: - - - R
Susan,Anagram of “spooner” around “i” (“international”). What ice does when it gets warmer sounds like (“we hear”) a god.
Many thanks. PRISONER I don't think I'd have guessed that one.Hmmmm, ROAR \\\\I suppose, but I'm afraid that stretches my imagination a bit too far!Just one more now, about low-fat: P - I - A - so I'll think about that one ....I've found plenty of synonyms for fat but 'creamy' is not, as it seemed to indicate on search links, a synonym for low-fat!

Hi Susan,Not prisoner – you probably wouldn’t take drugs from this person!
Not “roar”. Think hammer, thunder etc…
What’s the clue pleese?
Ah, right! POISONER!!
It hasn't sprung to mind yet ... ...
10 across: Start with ploughman's with low-fat pickle? (6)Letters: P - I - O - Not A as in previous post.)I think I'll allow myself to ask for the answers, please! I have a slight excuse - I had a bit of a TIA on Saturday and found that I was unable to say a few words properly, so that's probably wiped out a few brain cells. spoke to a GP today who has referred me to Lymington Hospital, from whom I have just this minute had a phone call to say they will see me Thursday morning.
Hey Susan,Hooray!You’ll kick yourself – who was the god of thunder in Scandinavia?
OK, so you have the P from the start of “ploughman’s”. Now you need a word meaning “low fat”. If it’s not heavy, it must be… The whole thing then means a “pickle” as in a scrape or a tight situation.
