Ixion @ 19

Ixion: could you please explain your Nr 19 to me? I was most impressed till I thought I discovered a flaw, that's why I didn't vote for it. Maybe I'm missing something.

4. IV
Rubbish : tat
Bad clue. Cul e

I hope ixion doesn't mind, but I thought it was a brilliant clue, but I am not permitted to vote as I do not offer clues

On Ixion's No 19: no misunderstandings, I thought it was absolutely brilliant, too, but I think you'll find
the "a" is used twice in the wordplay (the order would be wrong, too, but that's not my point).

....in other words, where's the "across" ? Or doesn't that matter?

......unless he meant TAT across (surrounding) IV ? In which case I retract my criticism of course!

TAT goes across IV.

I took it that tat was across IV
( tat with 4 across)?
