Dear pavlov,a
In the Tossman 1209, I think the answer to 42 across is ‘elevating’. ‘Elevator’ doesn’t have enough letters or fit in with the clue. Keep up the Good work. I really missed the puzzles all those months when The Listener was out of production. Wishing you a safe and peaceful Festive Season. Jennifer in hot, oppressive Christchurch.
Yes, you’re right of course – I must have misread my answers! Thanks for pointing out the slip-up – I have fixed the page now. Best wishes, Jennifer….
Many thanks for attending to the problem so promptly…Even better, 1209 is ‘all done by lunch time’. Now I have to wait for 1210….J.
Well done – yes, a bit of a wait for 1210 it seems! Many thanks again for the correction…
