      But bears tulip in the woods, and Hertfordshire is crap, so it could have been tulipty.

        Anyone?
        No idea. I'm still stuck on the Sun's 1 across: Indefinite object (1)

          I thought it might by tits, but it turns out that they're some kind of two-legged feathered flying thing.

          I reckon you must have one of the other clues wrong.

            Have you got 1 down yet? That'll give the first letter, which should help.

              The Sun crossword can be quite enjoyable, since both the normal and cryptic clues have the same answers.

              What's the cryptic clue?
              Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.

                That was the cryptic clue.

                But 1 down is "round thing with cheeks that you sit on" (4). So once we have that, 1 across should be a doddle.

                  Bum.

                  Nope. It is indeed difficult today,

                    Obviously the answer is "the" and the sun have just got the number of letters wrong - just put all 3 letters in the one box.
