10 A without using any liquid - aneroid
ReplyDeleteOne - A
Pants - anagram indicator indicator
A+(ironed)*
Though Aneroid barometer is common, meaning of anroid as 'without liquid' was new to me.
ReplyDeleteA doubt about 13A- Would 'after' be better suited than ;on', being an across clue?
ReplyDeleteIs it called manila envelope since it is made out of this fibre? (or at least was)
ReplyDeleteCinq is pronounced as Sank in French. Not Sink which would make it like a homonym to Synch.
ReplyDeleteYes, I was a bit confused on this as well.

1d should the hp indicator be after nobody, applying only to went!
ReplyDeleteBetter still, say can go t the end.
DeleteDisappointing episode, nobody went, say.
Another doubt- with the clue as it is, is it okay to get went from attended and then apply the homophone indicator?
DeleteHPs are almost that way. For eg 16d today.
