DTGK/herculis 23a break with a snapping noise -n-p

[cpfcrosie]

Is it just me, or is the answer in the clue, snap, or am I missing something?

[Aquagility]

I've put Snap.

[cpfcrosie]

what do you think of knap, which was my other possible answer?

[bridgenut]

I've put Knap as snap is in the clue .

[Aquagility]

Knap - to break into pieces, esp. with a sharp snapping noise, to break, flake, or chip (flint). I see what you mean, it's certainly an option.
Where's sarumite?!

[sarumite]

Sorry , I am trying to finalise Sun Tel cryptic, running late this week .... I have put Knap which fits the clue according to Chambers.

[Aquagility]

More b. Tippex, then. Does anyone know whether they accept it? Thanks, anyway, to you all.

[sarumite]

I would think that as long as the grid is legible they would be honour bound to accept entries ??

[cpfcrosie]

thanks, I will go with knap
I use an "eraser.max" biro made by papermate, available in wh smiths. This allows me to erase my many wrong answers (eg fluorite/ bluejohn today) and put correct ones in without spoiling the grid. i can recommend it to all!

[sarumite]

I am probably even less confident of always being correct first time, so take a photocopy to fill in!

[Aquagility]

So Holmer nods?

[Aquagility]

That rebounded! Homer!

[dwil]

Like cpfcrosie I too use eraser.max (from Staples also). The blue ones tend to be slightly better.

[pollythecat]

I;ve put bluejohn but thius should correctly be Blue John so what is the correct answer?

[POINCIANA]

I put the grids on a spreadsheet each week and fill the answers in on the screen, then when I believe it's right I copy it onto the newspaper grid for posting. Big advantage is the ability to zoom the image so that it's easy to see! No messy Tippex either.

[burnham]

The correct answer is Blue John - but don't let that put you off!!
