22d- Does he mean 'inc' to be on top?
ReplyDeleteI too think so, though it would have worked without this
Delete13A- Could not get 'Veldts', in spite of getting upto the correct anagram stage.
ReplyDelete25A- struggling with 'Site Plan' for a long time.
ReplyDeleteI was listening to an Economist who listed a number of things AS CONCERNS to show us that the Economy is on a downtrend. Then he SHARES his tips on what one should do.
ReplyDeleteCut down on FEASTS and all extravagant expenses. Watch movies on your TV SCREEN. Avoid theatres.
Younger generation should INVEST in fixed deposits and let the INTEREST COMPOUND. They should get complete CONTROL of their expenses.
Invest first in GOLD and next in BONDS.
Go for long term PENSION plans.
He goes on and on.
All I can say that he is a good Economist teaching one how to economise. He may even con ye to be miserly!!
Welcome back CGB Sir,

Given the times that's not a bad idea. Save and hold on to liquidity.

ReplyDelete24DN AP for apparently [Chambers]
ReplyDeleteYes apparent/apparently is listed as ap/app in Chambers. But it's not immediately apparent to me why this is so? Where is this abbreviation commonly used, physics?
