Has anyone got the answer to 16 a please?
Distant body clumsily put in East Midlands river? ?E?T?N?

[chelle7272]

Ne ptu ne

[Crocus1]

Thank you. Can't see where the put comes in though!

[chelle7272]

anagram in the middle :)

[factor-fiction]

anagram (clumsily) of PUT.
(Did you know you are in Q&P rather than Crosswords?)

[dannyk13]

Clumsily = anagram of put = ptu

[Crocus1]

Of course! Doh! Will do better next time Factor 30!

[Lie-in King]

factor - really, so? Good grief...

[factor-fiction]

Yes, really. Some don't know. I thought a Crossword section was added to help separate crossword questions out from other Q&P questions.

[chelle7272]

yes, I think you've been doing a sterling job with that factor :)

[Mamyalynne]

I sometimes buy a sandwich in Boots the chemist, but then have always been a rebel.

Sorry Crocus :-)

[factor-fiction]

I still give answers and I try to be polite. Some are grateful and some see it as petty I know.

[Mamyalynne]

Factor, you are always polite.

[Lie-in King]

Hardly the end of the world though, is it? A crossword is a puzzle.

You are polite, yes. Petty? IMO, yes. If a puzzle Q is asked in "Law", eg, fair enough, I point out the mistake as well.

Apologies to Crocus1 for the extra traffic - this one will never be sorted out.

[dannyk13]

Crossword clue:- pedant (3, 2 and 4)

[Lie-in King]

danny - IF that's directed at me, it's incorrect. I don't insist on everything being "just so".

Anyway, it's a poor effort - should be (3-2,4)

[dannyk13]

Which proves my point I think.

[chelle7272]

Now now guys, Q&P is not the place for bickering ;)

[factor-fiction]

Hardly the end of the world though, is it? I agree. But then again posting in Adverts isn't )http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Adverts/Quest

It's just a matter of where to draw the line- there's no right and wrong answer.
Anyway- I take your point and won't interfere again

[dannyk13]

Sorry Chelle.Just thought LIKs comment was uncalled for.

[chelle7272]

I don't disagree danny, and you did make me chuckle ;)
