Sorry, phone took me away - Julian, I noticed that this time you didn't post the whole clue either.

Please follow the site's guidelines with any future posts, eg -

21a What's worn by supporter from east following team in decline? (7)

Thank you in advance :-)

Your patience and helpfulness is admirable, danny and l-i-k. Given that julian has omitted letter counts from all posts since 2012 and has received numerous reminders I'm wondering whether there may be a technical issue. I know some posts can be truncated if certain keys (more than and less than for example)- maybe julian's browser doesn't accept numbers. And maybe there is a restriction on the number of characters which prevents full clues being given.
Julian- if the full details won't go in the question box try putting the letter count in the title box (and don't then use the title builder) or adding the missing info as a reply to your own question. Or you could raise a query with the Ed. Good luck

It looks as if you are at least able to reply to your own posts (you did it here in 2011, https://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Quizzes-and-Puzzles/Crosswords/Question1000624.html) so you should be able to add missing info that way. Good luck
