stabilise is an anagram I think of Islesabit

[Captain2]

25 Stabilise - anagram (scilly/silly) of Isles a bit

[Mamyalynne]

Hind, how the very posh may pronounce Hound

[fiction-factory]

Pronouncement- scilly sounds like silly, thus indicating anagram. Definition is support

[vetuste_ennemi]

25a anag suggested by Scilly=silly

[elliemay1]

anag of 'isles a bit'

[Toorak]

Anagram of isles a bit
Hind - how the queen would pronounce hound

24d. Entrant for the worst clue of the week.

[clog2]

thanks, I see now

[fiction-factory]

Clue is not great but I think there was a question mark at the end of the clue in the paper

[fiction-factory]

In fact both had question marks in the paer, thus indicating the clues/answers were a bit suspect

[dannyk13]

Question mark or not the queen would not pronounce hound as hind.

[clog2]

I don't like the hound/hind bit. probably asI am not a native speaker and certainly not one who speaks like the Queen!
