Not everyone here as a copy of the paper - if you don't give the clue(s), you are less likely to get help!

Interestingly i was about to bring this up.

Clue News in itself unto scipios adherent (5) =SUNNI

itself unto scipio/Itself in latin is SUI but where do the 2 Ns come from?

And the link to fifteen squared does not answer this dilemma.

Any ideas? i can make one N but not the second

One N is "new", so two Ns might be "news"?

Yes it may

And sorry rambler i meant to say it clears up the scipio query but im not sure i hold with the plural news for 2 Ns

Hi imagcq
Yes, all well here - trust it is the same for you.
Not a crossword I do (so I don't know the theme), but "news" looked quite clever to me.

Winters coming perhaps clue chain may appear again one of these rainy mondays?
