Thanks, K. Thought I had gone wrong.

Hi Zita

I feel a Bozo for not pointing out your mistake!

[zita-green]

Hi K. I feel a BOZO for putting BOOR. Still learning to read clues more closely. Have finished now, thanks to you. Can you explain the wordplay on 8d It's not a tree unless I've gone wrong again. *** is a term of abuse for a woman.

my post has just been censored.

Hi Zita

8d was a bit naughty for Azed as 'other' means a 'bit of this, that & the other' if you follow.

*** is another word for 'It'.

Incase they censor me it is P$$n Tang.

[zita-green]

That's what I thought; had to look it up, though. Lord, I've led a sheltered life!

[kayakamina]

And the first bit IS an Indian Tree.

[zita-green]

Thank you, K. I will file it away.

Is 9d EMMET, or EMHET, or...? Last one for me.

[kayakamina]

Emmet is an ant and a Tourist in Cornwall.
