This particular puzzle has a "perimeter Nina" in crossword speak.

Late I know, sorry, but we do these on Sunday morning. A perfect accompaniment to a lie-in.
We are done apart from 3D. We have _N _R_S. Totally stumped. Is that wrong? Hints would be appreciated.

Your crossers are correct. A double def.

Thank you Jono. Yes, I think I have it. Not a great clue though in my opinion.
Cheers!

Sorry. Was feeling in a bit of a bad mood when I wrote that post. Obviously good to attract more crossword solvers. Just strange to do it so much with the prize one
My hubby and I do these together so easier. Somehow our knowledge/skills compliment each other and we are attuned to Guardian crosswords.

Reared on Araucaria nearly everything else will be a slight disappointment 😉 We are currently doing his alphabetical acrostic book. Sometimes we think impossible but mostly we finally work through it. Some can take ages and when really stuck on where to start we have had to have a quick peek at answers at back!

Thanks for the FT suggestion.
