[novalis]

The clue contains 'a'

[Tilly2]

Thank you, Novalis.
Yes, Bobb. I made a mistake.

[Matakari]

Thanks, bobbinwales! I ran out of patience for this final one.
It's all done now!

[bobbinwales]

...
Thanks but it was tilly2 who got it not me!

[bobbinwales]

Unless you meant for prima donner

[Matakari]

Yes, bobbinwales, it was for prima doner, thanks!

Matakari, I'm sorry your appointment with Doc was rather long and drawn-out! There's a Chalicea in today's 'I' - I think you usually enjoy her puzzles.

6d arranged

[bobbinwales]

How does arranged work ?

[novalis]

6 down - answered much earlier - is Taransay. Anagram of stay round Aran.

[Neveracrossword]

Arranged doesn't work and doesn't fit in with the letters. Taranasay, as given earlier, is much better!

[Tilly2]

Good evening, NAC.
Just wanted to say thank you for being really supportive in my efforts with this particular crossword.

[Neveracrossword]
