Should be choral (nearly al(l) after chor(e))

As I said the other day the clue is written badly. The answer should be idea, not aide.

Thanks both but I still cant see the reasoning. I've got choral for 1 down. I'm sorry if the answer was given yesterday but when I typed in the clue there we no answers given. Can you explain octogenarian please?

Sorry, meant chor + AL

Still don't see why it should be AIDE for 12a...cannot think of an alternative, though.

A batman in the army was an aide, beginning to finish - a to the end of the word, gives idea. ( I think the clue actually said batman, not batSman)

So is the answer Idea, then, not aide ?

Avatar Image Valanne
Unfortunately, because of the a in choral they seem to want aide which, to my mind anyway, makes the clue wrong.

Totally agree with you , Valanne.
Thanks for explanations.
