Wonderful to see the post at the usual time. This was a tough one. 26 A is Keep to
ReplyDeleteTo further elaborate on KEEP TO,
ReplyDeleteKEEP = tower
TO = closed e.g. pull the door to
Shuchi how does keep become tower
ReplyDeleteOk I found keep
ReplyDelete1D There is something called capacity hat systems for antennas. I don't know what that is, but if you google for capacity hat there are a number of articles.
ReplyDeleteSo talk about capacity would be
Talk = def
c about
hat =capacity
3d must be ESTAMINET, I think. Pl. check.
ReplyDelete[i]2 - Tool, last of screwdrivers I removed from bag (7) – {S}{PANN(-i)ER}[/i]
ReplyDeleteDeepak,
While solving many clues offhand elsewhere,
I missed this though I knew how the clue worked. That's because I was under the impression 'pannier' was a basket. If the def. had been 'basket' instead of 'bag' I should have got it w/o the grid.
Ok I found keep
ReplyDeleteSuresh,
OK. Finders are keepers.
It is ESTAMINET, I have typed it out incorrectly though I have provided the link correctly to ESTAMINET
