The A came from answer to clue,"Better grey matter gone to the gutter for the sake of bread and butter?"To which I answered ,brAin drain,It fits with everything else ,so I think it is correct.

Yes - looks good, Cane is probably the answer then.
Sorry to keep questioning your answers.

No need to apologise ,Often I am sure I have right answer only to have it corrected,the earlier superman answer(which I was convinced was correct) is an example,The cane/cain spelling is still bothering me though,like you I have ever only seen cain, spelled that way

Just noticed that if the answer is Cain its not the A thats wrong its the E

No the E is correct,It came from answer to clue;(The hard evidence of constructive corroboration,)To whice answer is concretE proof

ok, just skipped through the thread and read the final few contributions.

yes i know Helena,i was clutching at straws - there may be an answer that has nothing to do with Cain but i can't see one even if both letters were wrong(which they aren't).
very frustating!

Yes maybe we are all hung up on the cane/cain answer ,a friend just called ,He thought maybe bane??
says online dictionary defines bane as murderer/destructor?,Think I shall have to wait for 2 weeks till answers are published

just a thought...

could your 1D or 1A answer be relevant?

Murder most foul is a quote from Shakespear's Scotish play so could be Bane.
