I haven't got far with this yet, but am already stuck. 9d 'One stolen car chased by first of agents in Italian city '(7). I want it to be Ferrara, but I have F?S?A??, the 'S' coming from the end of 12a 'An old newsagent perhaps saves time to speak again', which I have as 'Reuters'. There also seems to be a line missing on the grid above 28d.
What is the clue for the F at the begining , out of interest please? You are probably right. Never attempted a Mephisto before. Just thought that Pescara is an Italian city and contains the word car, yet, wait here + sure that some genius will provide you with the correct answer soon :-)
Warm wishes, Bea :-)
Yes, sure that that is right :-) Oh my gosh, this is a tough one, for certain!!
Hope some genii come along for you soon crockshard!
Warmest wishes + good luck, Bea :-)
Reuters looks right yet so does Ferrara so very confused!!
Oh gosh, where are the genii right now? Hope you have your answers soon + hopefully someone here has completed this crossword too so can help you. Good luck, truly. Bea :-)
