many thanks

Correction- 8d

26a; I'm assuming the question before was connected to something French.

8d is more probably Strand as the clue mentions "the way"

Mike - Clue has 2 components, ST + RING ('way' + 'call'). Cheers, ja

[geo0939]

Quite so, johnalex; I'm never sure how much detail to give here, assuming people learn by working thing out for themselves.

Hi geo0939 - I would agree that it most cases an answer is all that is required, especially if the questioner is clearly experienced. However, it also helps if we explain our logic, for those who are new to the game and keen to learn. I don't think there is any hard and fast rule, other than to remain courteous at all times while on site. Kind Regards, ja
