Forgot to mention that the last two down clues
contain MATCH & CLONE.

Tony, your guidance was missed today with Jolan. Glad to see you are up and about now.

Andy

Thanks andyc

Hope to join everyone next week.

Thank you very much Tony for giving me the breakthrough. You are brilliant.
I have one more clue to solve though, 9 down -itri-e . There are a few possible answers but I cannot work out the reason for it from the clue given. Help please.

Hi again shoni

NIT (fool) RIDE (improvise) = harden surface

Hi have done some of the clues includeing fireplave but have noidea why it changes as tony says . by the last 2 downs do you mean 10 and 17 coz i have a anagram for one of those.P lease can I have some morehelp on how and which change.Am not doing very wellthis week.Thank U

Hi Mary

Yes I was referring to 10 & 17d
10d watchman should be entered as W MATCH AN
17d violence enter as VI CLONE E

These changes meet the theme of 'mixed doubles'

The clues to be repaired are-
1 ;36
15;29
7
23
10;17

Hi Tony. Thank U very muchfor the answers I would never have thoughtof them on my own.I do find these xwords very hard but i think I am getting a bit better at so meof them.

Thank you Tony for cofirming the answer to 9 down. I had never heard the use of this word in this context.
