Oh I know, Dim Tayla!
I can’t even think why this has been accepted as a thread?

The clue to 15 down was:
Depression? That could be Everton (3,5)
I think you read it as just Depression? and the OP had suggested the answer was Everton
The whole clue was:
15 Down > Depression? That could be Everton (3,5)
Note That could be Everton was part of the clue and the answer was 'The Blues' which is a description of both Everton and depression, which you probably know.
I can see where your confusion lay but it seems Michael didn't and chose the insulting patronising route.
Judging by some his comments today it seems Michael may not have just gotten out of the wrong side of bed but actually fell out the wrong side?

I thought it was a reasonable question… And it seems Rob @11 did need something more.
So nice of you to step in and provide a really clear explanation. Much appreciated.

That said, Andy #8 please put me out of my misery and explain 'water' as the answer to your clue. And allow me to groan in peace at an obvious answer I just can't see!

H2O.
Swear... I think I can hear that groan from here.
24 Posted 15/06/2025 at 17:04:54
It is a belter though.
