They're not clever really, it's just lateral thinking.

Well explained Webbo, I'm in the same boat as DB11 and Marko.

Might start trying some easy ones online before advancing as I clearly need to improve my lateral thinking!

Yeah thats how I worked it out. Definitely didnt just guess from the letters given

[Hollism]

Um, would anyone mind explaining the line manager one? I'm also dreadful at cryptic crosswords.

So I can see queue = line and boss = manager but what the hell has a German got to do with it?

Manager = "a german" annagramised (upset).

 

One day I'll figure one of these out without seeing the word first.

[Hollism]

Ah gotcha. Never would have got there by myself
