Thanks Col for the grid.
Online edition - where do I find the crossword if its not under Miscellaneous??
Instead of a fish, why not teach me fishing??

You cannot fish. The fish is not online since last two days. The clues are received through Bhavan in Australia. The grid was redrawn using software on the computer.

A blundering, floundering phase the prestigious newspaper is going through! Already tossing the grid from here and there and the unnecessary change of grid square size- a marked difference in the grid on Sunday puzzle in the magazine section -is annoying enough and now this new problem for those who depend on online edition!

[CLUELESS]

Nothing to fish today as well,
But, saving on bait.
