ReplyDelete11Ac SOWCARPET - Sow+c+arp(e)t (part*)
Keep it simple...
DeleteSeed, v. - SOW
covering n., i.e., floor covering - CARPET
So SOWCARPET
nice anno. in a simple way...gr8 sir
Delete1A PEERESS - iron (PRESS), odd letters of even (EE), defn: lady
ReplyDelete5A BIGOTRY - huge (BIG), nothing (O), effort (TRY), defn: intolerance
10A CARTOUCHE - mind (CARE), feel (TOUCH), defn: design
18A DECANTER - check (DETER), able (CAN), defn: bottle
29A TRAMMEL - public transport (TRAM), Arden (ME), left(L), defn: bar in the sense of 'to block, obstruct'
Anno of 10A and 18A needs a tweak. Your anno gives the solution as CARETOUCH and DETERCAN
DeleteCAR(TOUCH)E. There is no indication to suggest putting TOUCH inside CARE, unless we take architectural to mean that
DeleteDE(CAN)TER: in this 'get inside' indicates that CAN gets into DETER
The word 'getting' in "mind getting feel" indicates CAR(TOUCH)E.
Delete2Dn ELSEWHERE (DD)

Sorry. The problem is with my eye and the very small font in The Hindu.

ReplyDelete29A..public transport = TRAM ; adren=ME ; left=L =TRAMMEL
13a...KIND OF TAX = FEE ; NOT HARD MEANS SOFT, I.E -S ....FEES
21D ...school time calendar = ADAGE ....MEANS MOTTO
Prasanna Rao,
Delete13AC is incorrect
21D is incorrect as it seems to have combined another clue. Recheck.
Prasanna, You have mixed up 21 & 24D.
DeleteFor 13A see the correct solution by AJ at 8.50
Paddy and KKR pl.accept my Apologies. 13ac. my anno is wrong. 21D. might be stroll. I have written in piece of paper from home. while typing I swiped it. by the by fantastic grid. was too interesting.
Delete20d BADGER; harry; {BADGE}{R}
ReplyDeleteI think I didn't overstep my limits. This was my fifth one, previous four being yields, slaughter, cess and beret.
ReplyDeleteOk. This situation can be avoided if you post all your answers in one comment

ReplyDelete17D ROTTERDAM (=port) derived from Daughter ram (Spoonerism)
Thank you Colonel. As my fifth answer has been removed by the blog administrator I can give one more
ReplyDelete7d
TICKS
Anno: stick: Pierce
Top to bottom: ticks: bloodsuckers
19a....crown paste ...PATE. which means head.
ReplyDelete28AC RE+MO[R]SE*
ReplyDeleteWriting=R [as in 3 Rs]
RE from? Where is the anagram indicator?
DeleteI think RE from Over and anagram indicator is perhaps.
DeleteYes Vasant, that's what my anno is.
DeleteOrthopaul's annotation for 24ac does not explain the presence of the letter. L twice.
DeleteThe solution is right.but
Entire work force: all men
has to return(all other men)
End of August: t
ALL OT MEN T
Yes, you are right. His anno was incomplete.
DeleteOther may be read as OT. Problem of autofill
ReplyDeleteother as OT is incorrect. TO is there in the clue which is to be returned.
DeleteIt is not all other men , but all ot men
ReplyDeleteOther was not what I typed. ot was typed as other automatically. I was a little careless.
ReplyDeleteA small correction about 2D- the golfer is not El but ELs(Ernie Els).
ReplyDeleteThat would make it Els swhere (homophone of swear) Of course 2 S's would merge while pronouncing. Spooner takes care of it? Should we be looking for a homophone of where rather than swhere?
EL was a golfer. AnGel Cabrera. His Nick name was El Pato
