Sent an email , too + no response as yet either.
For 25 down have these letters, to the clue not printed in either the paper or online, A?H, so could it be ash?!
Do you have Top Hat for 27across?
27a) Lead in Tootsie getting Oscar- superb film(3,3)
?o?,??t
Is your 20 down) Hobart?
20d) Australian port, much favoured round pub(6)

Know that the first letter of 25across is an A as 24 across clue is) Antbears out of place in a Northern Ireland town(8)
Anagram of Anbears is Strabane which is an N Ireland town.
Ta v much :-) Have completed rest of grid

[Simon-Bloom]

25 down meant to have said ;-)
If Top Hat is right for 27across then , it makes A?H for 25 down. Could be aah & ash. Hope the FT do get back to either one of us chasfenton@b :-) as without a clue it leaves us one clue less ;-) of a full crossword.

No word from FT following mail, but clue published today in jotter box, says it is 25 across, but should be down, however
