Should your clue have read Al's in,, etc?

Der Danny

Are you awake yet?

[1ozzy]

I answered this question how many hours ago??

[dannyk13]

Der, 1ozzy. I was referring to your post at 06.30

Thank you Danny, I think I pointed out the little issue.
Maybe Satprof will realise that either an eye test or a keyboard with bigger buttons is required.
But once again thank you for ensuring that everybody understands cryptic crosswords, including myself

patience ozzy, there'll be several more opportunities to answer this question as the day goes on . . .

[dannyk13]

Were referring to the fact that there is an i where the l should be?

[dannyk13]

'lucky thing last main mess' would have been simpler . . .

[satprof]

Sorry, everybody. The original version uses a font where a small l appears to be identical with a capital I. I had read it as 'AI's in Main St. mess' & this is what I had typed in. AB, in its wisdom, converted this to 'Ai's in Main St. mess, but that still meant Artificial Intelligence to me, so I left it. I never dreamt that it should have been 'Al's in Main St. mess'.

I guess working with computers for the last 55 years impacts the little grey cells.

Talisman seems to work out very easily.

[1ozzy]

Long live your grey cells Satprof
We all try to retain ours ;-)
