They messed up then they changed two.

27 became - Plant with two leaves - Di L L

Davemano

I thought there would have been something today about the mistakes in the clues - but nothing.

Hi Mamyalynne,
I am not convinced that you are correct. 28a can only be FAITHLESS or FRIGHTENS which, even now I can see the answer as FAITHLESS doesn't fit in with 27a clue or even 28a. Back to you for any answer to the problem.

Davemano

Initially, the clue given for 28a was the one which should have been for 27a. Faithless was correct 28 but no clue was given for it

Davemano

The original 27 was posted mistakenly although a logical answer could be got from it.

From Grenmus last week

//Just had a call from Sunday Express. The clue for 28 Across should be the clue for 27 Across and 28 Across is now: This false deviant is disbelieving//

Thank you all for your answers. I hope that next week the Sunday Express gives the low-down in the 'Winners' column and say's that because of the fiasco there will be no winners for the Skeleton of the 8th April 2018. It is the least that they can do bearing in mind the difficulty of the skeleton anyway. So much wasted time for nothing.
Thanks again Dickpatven

Davemano

There was certainly a lot of head scratching on the AB.
