These are driving me NUTS !!!!!!!

11a. Sharing round in pub (2,2) _ N , _ _

1d. Name ship after European capitalist (8) _ U _ L _ _ _ R

14d. Troops stepped out in these formations (8) E _ H _ L _ N _

14d HAS to be "ECHELONS" (nothing else fits) ... but WHY ??????????

Thanks, Vegas.

"In On" ?

Is that an expression of some sort ?

11a in on

1d dubliner

14d because they step to one side to make the formation ?

Hi JJ

11 In On
1d Dub liner

14d Echelons - Double definition

[joggerjayne]

Hmm ... that gives me an "N" as the 6th letter of 1d.

[joggerjayne]

Aaaaah ... thank you, bibble and K.

I suppose you guys just filled those in with no problem.

I've been picking the paper up, and putting it down again, all day ...

(in my car ... at every traffic junction, actually).

11a - on me? "this round's on me"?

[bibblebub]

round = O, pub = INN=> round in pub = in On

in on = participating in or knowledgeable of; "was in on the scheme" i.e. sharing
