14a L.M pronounced el em.
ReplyDelete29d peahen belongs to pheasant family.
ReplyDelete29a
DeleteMy only doubt about the clue is - whether HP is correct here!
DeleteProbably you have a point. Free Dic. gives the pronunciation as 'fezent'.
Delete10a adopt anaind lethal= all the, procedure = way, IMU.
ReplyDelete28A- Lean= Bend, as in leaning on something?
ReplyDelete27A- News=NN !
ReplyDeleteN=new, news plural in cryptics.
DeleteGot it alright.Just an exclamation.
Delete23A- Under used in ac. clue. We discussed this yesterday?
ReplyDeleteIt is SURE UNDER (WEIGHT=TON) Paddy
ReplyDeleteI UNDERstood your query, yet explained again! :)
ReplyDelete:-)
ReplyDeleteSo, it is to be read as "definitely under" weight, by splitting underweight as 2 words. Not quite happy with that,esp. in an ac. clue. That is what I was trying to convey.
Definitely Under cannot be used in an across clue. Perhaps Over?
ReplyDeleteUnder also means to control/led by. X led by Y or Y leads X.
DeletePerhaps. Nevertheless a very good clue; one among many in today's puzzle.
