Solvers be aware the numbering is out for the last few clues both across & down & there are also a couple of misplaced bars to look out for - extra fun?!!
Yes I have picked that up. Very annoying.

Sloppy editing again which is odd as it is set by Doc who is also the editor!
I've just noticed as well.
For 14d I have a three-letter answer, but no cross-checking letters yet. Is this one where the bar is wrong?
Do some of the clues show the wrong letter length, or is it always a case of the numbering being out?
14 D. Yes, the bar is out - there should be one after the three-letter word/answer.

33 A. (actally 34 A) Card opponents with date in cottage room (3) se?
Yes 14d has the bar missing after 3 letters; same problem 22a & 34a begins in the next square (ie with the last letter of 7d
Thanks, oldenburg - that really helped, have sorted my answer.
The last 7 across clues and the last 4 down clues are all incorrectly numbered.

I bet the people in the grid are having a laugh at Doc's expense!
On second thoughts they are probably sympathetic.
It's actually the numbers in the diagram which are wrong, because there should be four extra bars. The clues are correctly numbered
Nice quiet stroll through this today leaving plenty of time for gardening now that the sun has made one of its rare appearances!!
Isn't there one name missing from the final grid? (I.e. the one who might be referencing a 70s "comedy".) Is this deliberate or have I missed something myself?
Maybe this is Doc's revenge for crossword 2076 six weeks ago, when most of the bars which were supposed to be missing were actually there!
Thanks again, Daniel!
Thanks again Daniel
Thought the mistakes made it more of a challenge
Slightly disappointed i didnt win this week lol !

Belated thanks from me too Daniel. I've been out all day but took the grid with me. A serious puzzler I thought with all the "issues" but actually easy enough with a bit of critical thinking!
Thanks DJA ,
Once I'd sussed out the mistakes it was pretty easy this week ,however I'm stuck on one last little'un at 33a in the clues ( 34a) on the grid
Card opponents with date in cottage room (3)
Se?
shaneystar - that's where one of the mistakes is in the grid. This clue should start at the bottom of 7d i.e. with an "E" making it END (east & north for the card players + d(date) . It's there under defn of end in Chambers as a cottage room.
ah yes .. I can see it now !
I was slightly confused because of the missing bars .
Many thanks roslyn .Good luck .
Have I missed something? If we're going back to number 1, or even to numbers 1-400 or so, there's a three letter solution that has to be there. Nor is another and in recent years better-known three-letter to be found, which has been similarly prolific. I haven't finished yet, but I can't see where they would go.
