many thanks dannyk13
The brackets are a bit confusing, but I can now see why it's EDGAR
He's a wise old thing...;-)
FF the brackets are there to separate the answer from the parsing.
Yes, I have seen brackets in clues before, danny. But I thought the definition was man and that the 'short' indicated that edge and Arabian should be shortened) and so was puzzled as to why the brackets went round everything after the creep, including the definition
They have used the brackets to mislead really...


Creep short - Edg(e)
Arabian - Ar

Man Edgar
Lynne the brackets were not part of the clue.I put them them as explained above
oh,hope3fully uses them in the clue??
So he does, going blind in my old age.
The ones in the clue are as in the paper. Danny's are explaining the way he parsed the answer.
dannyk- when i said "The brackets are a bit confusing..." I was referring to the original clue as given by hope3fully, not to your explanation
FF see my post at 17.16
There seems o be a big time delay here- the last few posts weren't there a minute ago. Maybe I haven't put my computer clock back
Is it not done automatically?
