Listener 4152: Inn Joke by Mr Lemon

I don't get it! (the joke that is) I am glad it was easy this week compared to last week, but I am not impressed. The title, the rejoinder, the connection between the quotation? I suppose none of it...

EV 906 - Recognition By Kruger

Evening all. The toughest for a while, I thought. And might there be an error in 3dn ? The wordplay suggests an S as the third letter, while the grid seems to require a T. I'd be delighted to be shown...

Listener 4076: Labour by Elint

Tough debut by Elint this week. Very good surface readings with definitions not always directly linked in Chambers, which I felt made it tougher. I was only mentioning a few weeks back that with the...

Light-hearted definitions

Chambers Dictionary claims to include occasional light-hearted defintions. The only two I've found are for '?clair' and 'tracksuit' which both made me laugh, Anyone know of any more?
