53d Norm

62d You can spell it both ways. Is it a cryptic clue?

[Lie-in King]

53d Norm

Either spelling is ok, but 'Repellent' is, I think, more usual

[atsgran]

Spelt mine with an E - not cryptic Obnoxious, disgusting is clue

[JMR27]

53d norm
62d repellent (but I put "revolting")

[spellright]

Clue for 62d) is Obnoxious, disgusting (9)
I have ?E??L??N?. Just unsure about the 7th letter.

[atsgran]

JMR 27 - didnt think of that one, both fit

[Rollo]

I would goe with an "E".

[Rollo]

Or even "go with". :-))

[JMR27]

hi atsgran - either answer fits (typical D Record!)

[spellright]

So, now it could be repellant, repellent or revolting? Lol!!

[spellright]

Thank you all, and good luck.

[Rollo]

So it would seem.

If it is REVOLTING at least there is no argument about how it is spelt.

[JMR27]

hi spellright, I've entered "revolting" on the grid but I'll put a note in with the crossword saying the answer could equally be "repellent". I wish I could stop myself buying this paper - this crossword never fails to irritate me one way or another!:o)

[Lie-in King]

...or spelled... :-))

[atsgran]

Hi JMR27, think I'll go with your suggestion of revolting- thanks

[spellright]

I'm now changing mine to revolting as I can spell that one.
Spellright! !!!! - I wish ;)
