11a Attend, but worn out (4). Answer is 'beat'. In what sense does this mean 'attend'? Also 7d Sack is what the butcher might do (3,3,4). Answer is 'get the chop', not the same part of speech as 'sack'. If 'sack' is a verb, it's not the butcher doing it i.e. 'getting the chop'; and if 'sack' is a noun, 'get the chop' is not. Is it unrealistic to expect these things to tally? Surely it's what we depend on in the setter?

Oh my goodness Kayakamina - I was thinking of 'beat the retreat', 'beat the bounds' etc. How clever, but simple, the answer is! Thanks. Also dr b - thank you - one feels a bit pedantic sometimes . . . .
