Then I will bow to your vastly superior opinion Mamy...you may not be a Mod but you are never wrong !
Remember definitions are either at the start or end of a clue - 'Curbed' = curtailed is in the middle.
I am often wrong trust me on both those statements.
Question Author
Mamy...I keep forgetting that definition bit, and you have told me before as well, so few excuses.

Oh dear, I may go into hiding.
There is an occasional exception to the rule about definitions being at the start or end of a clue e.g where you have to make an anagram of the answer which is a synonym of the defining word in the middle of the clue combined with the word play at one end of the clue to make an answer to the word play at the other end. Bet that's as clear as mud.
