Waterboatman In Today's Guardian

There seems to be a sort of "hat" theme in today's crossword.

Unless I've got it all wrong, LOL

So ...

27(d) It's possible to bear chap having a row, say (6)

I think it's BOATER, although I'm not sure why, except for the "row" bit. And then I thought, heeey, maybe it's BOATIE !!

:0)

[henkeeper]

It's Boater - an anagram of To Bear - a hat sometimes worn by chaps out for a row on the river

There you go JJ, that's sorted!
;o)

[Psybbo]

Try 27 [a] lol

[Mamyalynne]

I've been stuck on 27 down for an hour now.

[joggerjayne]

Aah, yes ... 27 Across.

27 Across ... thinks, thinks ... is the answer BOATER ?

lol

So what do you mean, worn by chaps on the river? I've got one!!

In fact, I've got two.
