I'm confused........... My grid indicatates 12d to be three letters. First letter being last letter of 11a TANTRUM. Middle letter being first letter of 15a ALLOW, and last letter being last letter of 16a POLECAT.
So 12d has to be MAT
I have MAT due to inference to one admitted - I took a T off Matt (Munro) name
I also have TOP for 11d. (first letter of 11a TANTRUM, last letter of 14a CAIRO and first letter of 16a POLECAT
