ST 3369 (Hints)

Sunday Telegraph Cryptic No 3369 (Hints)

Hints and tips by Senf

A very good Sunday morning from Winnipeg on the middle day of a holiday long weekend, which is forecast to be quite soggy especially today, celebrating the 207th Anniversary of the birth of Queen Victoria who is remembered as The Mother of Confederation.

So, Terence, what was the ‘something’ that went wrong at Wembley yesterday?

For me, and I stress for me,©  Dada almost as quirky as last Sunday – four long ‘uns (two of them not anagrams), four anagrams (two partials), one lurker, and one homophone, all in a symmetric 32 clues; with 16 hints ‘sprinkled’ throughout the grid you should/might be able to get some of the checkers to enable the solving of the unhinted clues. I hope you have your Crimson Tomes at hand!
