Hi folks,
Struggling on last one 16 A Vagrant protects one set of records. I have ?O?S?E? Thinking coaster but cannot parse
Any hints appreciated

Dossier - dosser around I

Error in the clue for 18a (shock, horror!)

Frolic round old root's lump (12)

If he's going to use the technical rather than the generic term, he should get it right - stem, not root!

I thought it was ok. A root vegetable is referred to as this.

You would have been marked wrong in O level Biology, lilacwine :) Botanists are very keen on distinguishing the places that starch is stored.

I'm just about OK with calling a potato a "root vegetable" (though it isn't), but, as I said, if the precise term is used, it should be used precisely!

I agree. A potato is a tuber.

purrrfect :0}

It's so long ago since I took O level biology (and passed with flying colours ;) ) that I don't remember if this question came up ;). As most people refer to these veg as tubers, whether correctly or incorrectly I still think the clue is ok.
