If you say so Wharton. These are getting wierder, often the only way to interpret the clue is to work back from the solution.

Perhaps you can explain

3d "Time Keeping over German inn" = *u*e*g* = Auberge.

I know that an Auberge is a German inn but what's the logic regardnig the clue?
'uber' = German for 'over' inside 'age' (time)

Thanks again Wharton. Not only do I need to reverse engineer answers now I need to be a linguist as well! Perhaps I should join the U3A and start on Mongolian just in case? Maybe the crossword is being set by the BBC World Service.
