Thank you both. Trouble is I can't justify either of these with the clue, can you talk me through your thinking?
This was answered previously (by kayakamina I think), but the wordl play probably involves an anagram on one +s

I should have inserted than between rather and passing, sorry.

Not "a yes" i.e ayes ,thus noes .

Question Author
