No problems, gwen -

28D Those who play it safe won't get it (6,5)

With the crossing letters being D?N?E? M?N?Y, this is one of those clues that just 'click'. It indicates the negative side of 'safe', a six letter word - danger. What is something you get when you have to face danger - DANGER MONEY.


44D Workplace taken over by force (6,7)

Again, looking at the crossing letters we have P?L?C? S?A?I?N.
'Force' - police force. Their workplace - POLICE STATION.


47D Purpose of High Court decision (13)

Crossing letters - D?T?R?I?A?I?N. Fairly straight clue - people take cases to court to get a DETERMINATION.


52D Ben's courses revised due to lack of clarity (11)

O?S?U?EN?S?. 'revised' (anagram indicator) Ben's courses = OBSCURENESS = lack of clarity


66D Principal inflexible about earphones (7)

H?A?S?T. Principal - head. Inflexible - set = HEADSET = earphones.

(I have a secret theory someone new is setting the clues - their mindset will take a bit of getting used to!) :wink:

Good luck.

thanks heaps lezzles that was quick. now this might sound like a
dumb question but what do you mean crossing letters ?

Not as complicated as you think - they are the letters that "cross" the word - eg

P R I O R
O
L A R V A
I
C L O U T
E
S A S H
T
A D A G E
T
I N G E N I O U S
O
N E T P R O F I T

the 'crossing letters' are P, L, C, S, A, I, N.

Make sense now? Sorry if my terminology confused you. :wink:

thanks again lezzles hope I got the gist of it, if not I will probably
scream help again but not this puzzle all done thank heavens post
to-morrow. thanks again
