It helps if you check that you've put the right letters in, Cockie! All clear now.

Thank you, Triton. Great fun once the penny dropped and a real poser until that moment.

Not a stroll in the park for yours truly - a good two hours here. Enjoyable puzzle for which thanks to Triton.

Tough for me too!
Have tried on and off since Saturday.
Still got only half the solutions, (cold solving!) But do have several entered in the jigsaw.
So before I give up, can anyone help with these two particularly annoying ones.
A misprinted letter to be replaced in each clue, only in the wordplay.
Passed on Independent's betting tips to Hume before service (9)
Nurse coming after I tucked into extreme Indian meal (6)
Both having nice amusing surfaces, thanks Triton!

If you've solved a few of the clues, you should now have a good idea what the first letter of every answer is (if not, compare the first letters of the answers you've got to the clue labels).

In that first clue the misprinted word is a containment indicator, in the second it leads to a one-letter abbreviation.

Thanks spoffy.

No idea why there are two unglued at the moment.

Not 'Tim', but 'lad'

I'm making progress but very slowly! A little help please with two.
