Is it just me, or might there be a mistake in the RH corner? I want to put MYOPE for 7 dn (What I 'ave aspirations for as a shortsighted person), but this won't work with PATBALL for 15ac (Very good time associated with eg Boon's gentle hits). And 12dn has got me totally baffled.

Myope looks good - My 'ope = aspiration, myope = shortsighted

[Neveracrossword]

Myope fits my answers. I have 'pitpats' for 15 A - it's pi/very good +t/time+pats/Pat Boon's.

[magistra]

Yes, that's what i thought. And Pat (Boon) + ball (= good time), but this gives a B where I need a P!

[dr b]

pi+t+pats (should be Boone's!)
discoverers

[magistra]

I've now got 12 dn (DISCOVERERS), which would suggest something like PATPATS for 15 ac.

[dr b]

hello? you have 2 answers that give PITPATS.

[magistra]

Thanks dr b. I just got it!
