Sontag

On inside stag (male party)
Sontag
Sontag (Sunday) on(work) inside stag(male party)
Should really be Sonntag though
Question Author
I had thought of this, which would give the answer 'towngas'. However, the usual German word for 'Sunday' is 'Sonntag' (with two letter n's). I don' know if 'Sontag' is acceptable.

I hadn't seen Calibax' response when I posted, but (s)he is quite right. I have now consulted five German dictionaries, which concur. I should get out more...
Mike, how many letters does it show in the clue ?
I can't find it with one N either, even as a non-standatrd use.
Setter's error perhaps?
The solution is Sontag & with the W added and anagrammed the solution to enter is town gas. I think that the spelling sontag is a setter error
17 Working during male party one
day in Berlin, I dreamt about
head waiter (4,3; 6,1)
If you google Sontag it appears several times as Sunday.
Letter counts (in this case (4,3) and details of special instructions (in this case add a letter, anagram and two word solution which is undefined)
I thought this was simply ON in STAG with the W added but I'm not sure where Berlin fits in- I hadn't thought of the Sontag/Sonntag connection, although I'm not sure where work would fit in then
Thanks for the full clue Maya, although the second bit relates to a different answer which is 6,1
FF Sonntag is Sunday in German(Berlin)
Yes, that was covered above, danny- so if that's the parsing (and we ignore the extra N) where does work during fit in- or is that just the anagram indicator
sorry 'working'- working is 'on' - put that in STAG, then add the required W
Or is one where there is a double clue?
FF on (work) during-inside stag
This seems hard work. Clearly we are at cross purposes, danny, as you keep repeating what I've said, The working = on, inside STAG, plus a W was my parsing above and was the way I parsed it last time I answered this clue. I wasn't sure where Berlin fitted in though.
It's you that gave the other solution of Son(n)tag + the W. I hadn't thought of that previously on the other thread until I saw this thread. But if it's the right parsing I'm asking where the 'working' fits in.

FF I can't offer any more than my posts at 14.08 & 14.13

Okay I conclude you are parsing it both ways - SON(n)TAG +W and ON and W in STAG
