    Legal system changed opinion on oldest profession? (12)

      Retest for woman working in prostitution? (12)

      Comment


        You've picked up on one element of the wordplay, Guy. What was your working for the rest of the clue?

        EDIT: Oh ok, it's plausible to read the clue the opposite way to how I'd intended it, somewhat like the 'X reversed Y' format where I meant X and you got Y.

          Took it from the definition, can't think of many 12-letter words that would fit.

            I see no obstacle to playing on from Guy's clue.

            (The 'changed opinion' on PROstitution was meant to lead to CONstitution = 'legal system'.)

                          Edited the clue slightly. It still feels ugly, but at least it's ugly and a bit fairer now.

                              Your answer (and reasoning) is spot on

                                            I don't think that's correct so I'm going to counter with this gimme:
