I didn't count the letters!


I have never heard it called anything other than "elevenses" (except for a somewhat pretentious friend who always referred to "onzes"). Is "elevens" actually used?

31 a looks like 'easily led' if the clue contained 'A silly dee' Just a thought.

31a. "A silly doe" anagram for one who tamely follows his leader (6,3) ??S?L? ???

Thanks all of you. Easily led should be the answer. I will revisit the crossing clue to see whether I have made mistake. Thanks harlequin, chrisg, chrise and Jolan.

@chrise 'elevens' is in Chambers. I have never heard it called anything other than 'elevenses' either, and younger folk don't use this term at all.
