Helpful Hints
- This clue's indicators are 'Halfway across', 'back', and 'packing'. One of these is a selection indicator pointing out which letters in neighbouring fodder we should pay attention to. Another is a containing indicator - some fodder will contain other fodder. And a third is a reversal indicator guiding us to send some fodder backwards, reversing its order.
- This clue's fodder is 'Europe' and '500'. We'll need to find a short substitute for one of these and use it with the letters of the other (or some of them) to construct our answer, as guided by the clue's indicator(s).
- Our definition here is 'miles from Nice?', and it's more easily understood as 'miles from nice'. Our answer will be a word that describes this colloquial expression.
