Did anyone get this right - on another note, I nearly completed a crossword while on the train today but got stuck on the folowing clues:-

 

Scots shout about yellow colour - 5 letters

 

Relaxation from an alerted state - 9 letters

 

Anyone?

It's Standdown Jill, as zanehed posted above. Your "D" is wrong at the start.

 

Oh ok, the clue where I got the D from was 'Applies Palm Oil, Apparently' and the quick clue was 'Lubricates', therefore surely an S rather than a D?

'Greases' is the answer to that clue I reckon

 

Bugger you beat me :)

 

Exactly - thats where the S comes from? Therefore it begins with S. The A comes from - 'American Intelligence Agency' which I put CIA as the C and the I fit in the other answers.

American Intelligence Agency isn't very cryptic. Is this The Sun crossword with two sets of clues? I bet you used the coffee time ones and are pretending that you used the cryptic ones.

 

It makes a Pilkington "Rockbusters" clue look cryptic.

Not the Sun, no. Not even my paper, one we found on the train and decided to do the xword to relieve the boredom.
