I'm new to this paper (long story) but am pretty sure that the answers to 1d in Jumbo and 13d in main are the same. For those who dont buy it clues are - Ideal candidates, having let attention wander, slip; - Best candidates imagined dismissal being headed off (5,6). If I'm right does this happen often?
Stupid question Siggsy - don't you know that these people have got better things to do than answer you. Do yourself a favour and boycott the tory rag if you don't like it lad. And stop talking to yourself nerd - anyone would think you're pished.
