Freudian slip Mally?

[dave1948]

Sorry I'm definitely out for lunch as I am doing this in bed on a tablet so can't see the clue number

[dannyk13]

No probs Dave as long as we have the clue

Thank you Mallyh

Re Bats - yes - got it - but isn't the expression usually out TO lunch...? To me, out FOR lunch means just what it says...

[dannyk13]

Babs the clue is out to lunch in on line version

[BabsM]

Ah - yes indeed. Just looked back at my on-line submission. I didn't get the print version yesterday and was therefore commenting on the wording Dave gave in his question. Short term memory obviously on its way out...

It's OK - I'm rambling. I'll go away.
