come nearer

Thanks, but I am still foxed by the Rosa Klebb bit!
Come nearer is an anagram of ocean & mere, so Rosa Klebb seems superfluous
To make the anagram of ocean and mere fit come nearer - a second R is required.
oops.missed that, but don't see how Rosa Klebb = 'r'
There is a special condition as this is a themed crossword. 36 answers of which this is one have a word in the clue that follows the theme and the intial letter of that word is used in the wordplay.
Rosa Kleb is that theme and therefore the R for Rosa is added to ocean and mere to give the anamgram Come Nearer
Just shows how not having the crossword sometimes makes the clue onfathomable.
^unfathomable^
Agreed Danny and your typing is as bad as mine!
Thanks for that jj lol
Just for your own benefit Danny in case any more Guardian questions appear, another 30 answers that follow the same theme, have only wordplay and the definition word is unclued.
Ta.
Thank you Danny and JJ for the additional clarification. As I also do not have the crossword in front of me, being unaware of the special condition attached to this puzzle my comment regarding the additional "r" was simply factual,
Brilliant crossword today!
I enjoyed it Tilly :-)
Yep - I always enjoy the themed crosswords more. They start off more difficult until you get the theme, but then they become easier.
It was nice to be reminded of the setters, especially those who are no longer around
I cheated a bit and printed off a list of Guardian crossword compilers as soon as I got the gist of it.

Still working on it. I think it's supposed to last until Monday. :-)
