Radio Times Christmas cryptic crossword
Believe I've finished this (if anyones stuck on any clues am happy to help), but am just mystified as to how some of the clues are supposed to work..
34a A posh car taking carriers outside department store
_ A _ R _ D _
So for this I had "Harrods". So "department store". The "posh car" is rolls royce giving the RR. But I'm lost as to how the remaining letters on the outside (HAODS) are "carriers". It almost seems like a typo for HANDS, which would make sense, but obviously doesn't give Harrods, or anything else that makes sense
Help? An I missing something or is this a mistake by the setter?
You're viewing a single thread.
I think that 'a posh car' is ARR, and then 'carriers' is H ODS.
Thanks, that makes way more sense! I had never heard of a hod...
(How do you do spoiler tags by the way?)
Hod
A hod is a builder's V-shaped open trough on a pole, used for carrying bricks and other building materials.

Like this:
::: spoiler Title :::Thanks!
Btw I see your spoiler uncovered :/ Maybe they don't work with Boost? (android app)
Yeah quite possibly, it isn't standard markdown syntax so I can understand why it might not work everywhere.
I use Jerboa (also Android) it's a bit shit and bare bones but fast and easy to use.
