not quite ChrisE

of course - INEPT - I wondered where the record was!

well done ChrisE, take the baton please

A pub is gratuitous on William Butler’s isle. (9)

can I answer ?

Technically, not, FRANCIS, until it is declared "open". I think rambler's rules are that a previous solver must wait for that every time, unless a clue has become open, inwhcih case no wait is required for the next one etc. until he/she is successful again (is that correct, rambler?)

thanks chrise; it was the EVERY TIME I was not sure.

I think you can answer as being frozen out ceases once a clue is declared open. You declared your own clue "open" and then I answered.

Good point, jws - I hadn't thought of that. Go ahead, FRANCIS
