On Thursday, I had put together this crossie in a hurry to reach the Col on time for the Sunday Special. That's how the clue ' no later ' got germinated ! As ye-all know, annotation is not my forte' nor is splitting hair , so long the answer falls in place. I'm still learning the grammar of cryptic crossies and do find the latest techniques of deletions and additions and alternate letter- building as specialised by Afterdark and others and marvel at their patience in building up such clues. I'm more used to a ready-to-use food on the table and by and by will try to stir up some good stuff, garnishing and all. I am not a foodie and believe in the dictum: Neeyat bharna and not peth bharna ! If the taste is good, presentation can take a second place for me !! Sorry folks, may be a few typos also got ye-all climbing the wall !!raju umamaheswarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07107883886526369417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-56133398762582045642016-02-07T22:23:47.191+05:302016-02-07T22:23:47.191+05:30Maybe the clue should be 'that is'nt' ...Maybe the clue should be 'that is'nt' instead of who isn'tSureshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12985297587673755564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-29302661617312336732016-02-07T22:21:47.577+05:302016-02-07T22:21:47.577+05:30F would be failing.
