Have been enjoying this site for a while-finally joined.I'm relatively new to cryptic crosswords. Can anyone help me with 11 Across? I wonder if I have the wrong letters for the first word so far:
---T-A---U-
Thanks!

Hi flossie, and welcome
It's always best to give the clue, as not everyone has the crossword. Also ? works better for missing letters, and give the letter count.

I think your letters look right. The confusing thing is that it isn't an English word.

.........think Newcastle!

First two words of clue are the definition.

Thank you! It is such a thrill to finally get an answer. I thought the first two words must be the definition but I wouldn't have got there without help. Thank you for the advice about using a ? rather than a dash.

May I wish all our fellow RT Forum contributors a Very Happy Christmas & a Healthy 2015 !!u
I would appreciate further clues in the middle of the puzzle :- 19A "They're at a stage as tiny creature, one disheartened. "P***E. 32A "White fluid of former times" ** A **. 20D " To some degree lost in 36 Across. 29D "Apart from trapped reverse passage" ***E*P*

pup a(c)e?

pup a(c)e?

Are you sure of your letters? former is late + x - times gives latex- white fluid?

20d another word for a knees up with L for lost in it. def. " to some degree"
