Nope!
Wondering if "edit" is a part anagram.
I can only think of "swim with the tide" and that does not make sense, so I'll make a coffee!

You're on the right lines, Rusty - but another phrase....

How about turn with the tide, although I'm more used to that phrase without the 'with'?

Thanks, JLC - almost there, but one word isn't correct.

Second attempt!
"Turn back the tide" ?

That's it, Rusty - thanks!

PS I think my mind wanders around at times - it was turning back the tide of spam that got me thinking of this one!

I think it a fine clue, Malone!
"edit" reversed sends you to the solution.
I was thinking of old King Canute!
Well done!

Thanks, Rusty - I quite liked this one!

PS Some bumping needed...

^^ bump ^^
I think it's the simplicity of the clue that makes it such a good one, Malone!
