I cannot say that I am over-enamoured with as the answer to 21across (tie being the closest of races?? and a fast pace being a clip??). Can anyone come up with a better reason to insert this answer into the crossword matrix.
Whilst we are on the subject, can anyone give the reason why the answer to 17down "Man that's cut about the ear gets disorganised" is and why the answer to 21across "Soldier perhaps infiltrated by good English spy" is .
I have my doubts and have found this DT saturday crossword more difficult to get my head around than most of the others.
Once again, thanking you in anticipation of a response.
