[eanceoil]

thank you Danny, I've just opened my magazine, seen there was half a sentence missing for 20a - I can't work it out, but it connects somehow to 21a because of the ellipsis

[scooke]

sorry about typo error for 21a 14d is strike the flag, thus, from a fairway off?(2,3)I?,O?? this ties in with 21a

[scorpiojo]

Thanks, Éan ;o)

[eanceoil]

scooke, they must have run out of ink for me, my 20a reads - little (missing word) slightly off course for little (missing word) course ... (4)

I should have returned to newsagent before I started crossword - town is too far away
