Sun.Tel.Quick Crossword 30.1.11
2 Answers
Did anyone else have trouble with the right-hand corner of this puzzle?
6d. gunge(5)
11a. cluster (5)
I have assumed that 4d-freedom from work(7)- is leisure; 5d-kind of fish(5)-is trout; and
6d-gunge(5)-is slime. But I have probably gone haywire.

For 6d - gunge (5) I have ?l??? - the 4th letter being the last of the word for 11a - cluster (5) where I have s?r??.
There is a word 'sorus' which means a cluster of sporangia on the underside of a fern frond - but this would then give ?l?s? for 'gunge' and this would mean that the answer could not be 'slime' which is the nearest I can get for gunge.
All very irritating!
