Times 2 Jumbo 258

[Silvanus]

Clue: A seller of dirt? (6,6) I have the letters R_I_H_ and E_T_R_ and am really puzzled! For the second word one could have 'entire' or 'extort' or 'eatery' but I don't quite see which... and for the first I can find no word, so help please! ~ Silvanus

if this is the cryptic jumbo 34a, the answer is rumour monger

[Silvanus]

No, JMR, it's not the cryptic - and though your aswer is attactiv it just doesn't fit with so many othe words we've filled in, unless we've made just SO MANY mistakes! And in fact there has to be an H were your anwer 'runour' has an M! ~Silvanus

[JMR27]

hi Silvanus - I think you have been reading the wrong clue - you want the clue for Times 2 - - one in annual BBC series (5,7), to which I don't know the answer - sorry

[JMR27]

Reith Lecture? perhaps someone else can confirm...

34a clues are the same on T2 258 & Jumbo 738

I needed the same - had to get the paper out to read the clue
