[Tilly2]

Hello^

[aelmpvw]

the clue is nine letters

[Tilly2]

Thanks for answering, Ael. I thought I was being ignored.

[Neveracrossword]

Glad you've got it resolved, Tilly!

[Tilly2]

Yes, thanks to Ael, I did.

[Neveracrossword]

Sorry, Tilly - I was just puzzled by your initial puzzlement!

[Tilly2]

I don't know what you mean, NACW.

I was puzzled because 24a says, 8 letters and the answers given (apologist) is 9 letters.

[ubasses]

24a is 8 letters and the answer is airports
27 is apologist

[Tilly2]

Oops!

Thank you, Ubasses. It's a shame no one explained it earlier.

[Neveracrossword]

Tilly, that's why I was so baffled. The letter count was given as 9, the answer was given as 9... and then you said '...has 9 letters'. I thought you'd re-read it at some point!

[Tilly2]

I've been out all day. I just read your answer at 17.00 and responded accordingly.

What a drip! Sorry.
