Spectator Christmas Crossword
2 Answers
Hi, I've mostly finished this, but I'm stuck with 3 - I can't work out the wordplay so have no idea if I'm right or not.
21a - Shocks the distressed may choose ? (7) TO?PEE?
The only answer I can reasonably think of is toupees, but why ?
14d - It's clever to include marketing situation with dispatch (7) SMA???Y
(included only the letters I am ABSOLUTELY sure of, prob. though SMAR?Y). smartly ?
45d 'Goad' for 'God' (4) ?ROD
I have brod (meaning goad), but I don't get it.
Any help/advice much appreciated. Thanks.
