Fiction factory thanks I do the Ladygram every issue so know the workings just very stuck on this issue B and thought someone might know this thanks anyway

[fiction-factory]

Yes, sorry, my comments were aimed at those asking for letters

[fiction-factory]

lays off looks good.

I'm not sure how you decide which answer is right- I assume first letter or a particular letter from each answer spells something out

[Toorak]

Lays off fits both definitions

Fiction Factory thanks sorry my comment sounded a bit meh!! Appreciate all answers not sure yet which one!

[Pen388]

The answers down first letters spell a book and author. Then the letters are transposed into another grid with numbers where they make a quote from the book. Challenging this week!!

[Pen388]

Yes it looks like Lays Off. Thanks very much everyone
