[Duma]

You've not fucked up. I had no Idea who anthony howard was, but the wordplay is obv once you google him.

[aLICErOBERTSfANkLUB]

No.

No offence meant, but for a long time now I've felt the compulsion to answer the question in the thread title whenever I  see it. So I have. Ner.

[grumpycrumpy]

Yes

[aLICErOBERTSfANkLUB]

Just to get this shifting again…


Man-in-the-street, say, compiles The Observer crossword [8]

Though you could use it to teach yourself html…

[grumpycrumpy]

What's html ?

[grumpycrumpy]

Right ........ Are we going to see if aLICE can solve this rather tricky clue, or are we going to help him out by setting another one ? .........

Oh. I've solved it. [Now.]

But I was going to pass the conch to someone who's solved it correctly first

-NT---S


(And short of giving you the answer, that's about it.)

[grumpycrumpy]

That confirms the answer I've got ....... But as I can't make it fit the clue I think I'll defer until bigger brains come along ......
