Introduction
It is difficult to assess the level of difficulty of this puzzle as I completed it in several sittings spread over a two to three week period.
Today's Errors
4d Attraction of a fair caress - do wrong having naughty wish within (6.5)
We find only a minor typo today (one which apparently has been carried forward from the puzzle's originally appearance in The Sunday London Times), in which the numeration contains a period, rather than a comma. The corrected clue would read as follows:
- 4d Attraction of a fair caress - do wrong having naughty wish within (6,5)
brass - noun 4 British informal money: they wanted to spend their newly acquired brass.
cohoe - alternative spelling of coho.
cumshaw - [Collins English Dictionary] noun a present or tip.
Ernie Els - South African professional golfer
Elstree Studios - any of various British film studios located in or near Elstree, England.
The Hoe - a large south facing open public space in the English coastal city of Plymouth.
