44d fetch up

[slipnot]

Could it be 'fetch up' - anagram of 'thecup' plus 'f' beginning?

[blueberry2]

9ac caucus

[slipnot]

Fasces (facists)

[blueberry2]

should explain - caus(e) with ' you see' ie UC (talking - sounds)

[slipnot]

Caucus sounds good - I see where you're coming from.

[LottieAnne]

Thanks to you both. Do you have any ideas about Jumbo 733 52d County's short existence (4) - s - e ?
Thanks.

[blueberry2]

Could it be esse? Think it's Latin for existence and Essex with the x taken off. Latin very rusty!

When was 733 printed, I totally missed it. Am struggling with 734! Good LucK with your entry.

Blueberry - it was published on Wednesday to help us through Boxing Day!

Ditto blueberry- I suppose solution to 731 was published at the same time?Did anyone else find 731 uncommonly difficult? I still have some clues to solve! Wonder if somebody might possibly supply the answers to 6a.,53a.,54a., 38d.,42d.,45d.,--- a tall order, but I'll be most grateful!

Sorry, mike, too long ago, posted off some time ago now.Might be able to help if you typed out the clues though.Yes, I think 731 was quite difficult as far as I can remember.

Lottie Anne we seem to have hijacked your thread, apologies!
