After finally managing to complete the cryptic one, though this one was a doddle until I hit 19Across (1-6( On Line Merchant) for which I have E-TRADER But for 12 down (8) Go ahead - for which I have SANCTION which makes it E-T?I?R (The S and the T are respectively from 17across (Lily PadS and 18D STir I cannot think of an alternative for either Sanction or E Trader - HELP
I thought of that origininally but that spelling is not given only TailOr according to Chambers and 16 Down is only spelt Orrery - can Tailor be spelt with an E?
Thanks folks for enlightenment! Comes of being an old fogey - was thinking of the clothesmaker - I have Chambers 12th - did not see it but no doubt missed it!
