More hints.
2. Hang on shoemaker’s tool. (4) ----------- hint: dd, think of thing a shoemaker inserts in a shoe. Also think of a correction in the shoe prescribed for pigeon-footed toddlers.
Also think of not getting worn out even after long & rough use.
5. Motion Bill. (9) ----------- hint: dd. hint: Think of the word for riders Congressmen piggyback on a bill.
Think of “change.”
8. Again measure evidence? (6) --- hint 1: Pun. hint2: think of the word for evidence once a hearing in a case concludes, and everything is turned over to the judge to make a decision.
The “measure” in the clue is a measure for cut wood you buy for your fireplace.

That's how most "dd"s are. The only thing cryptic about this clue is its surface. Otherwise, it's just two words, and so a simple dd with synonyms.

Also think of not getting worn out even after long & rough use.
LAST ("Last" is what shoemakers use to orient the shoes; also, "straight last" shoes are usually prescribed for toddlers to correct pigeon foot (feet pointed in when walking).
Set solved.

double definitions are my least favourite clue type. they are usually not much fun and contain some obscure synonym of a word.Hellsangel wrote:Not a very cryptic clue then.indophile wrote:Yes for both.Hellsangel wrote:5. AMENDMENT? How?
