    No both Rs were in the place you put them. But anyway, obviously it's something else. I can think of only one word that fits here but have no idea how it might be the right answer. But I'll have a bash anyway


    Afterburn - few qualms for this investor (6,6)

          Yes. Departure (which was my tentative answer) fits that pattern.

            Apologies, I'd fixated on “after”

              Have I killed this?

              I mean, there's only one letter to get now in this perfectly cromulent word.

                I can't find any word. Unless you're spelling afterbirth afterbirf

                Comment


                  Four letter suffix “bir_”

                  Common enough phrase, surely?

                            A word both I and several friends have always used.

                            I'm genuinely surprised it isn't more widely known

                            Apologies for that

                                          I'm sure I've seen that clue before somewhere…

                                            If you have I'll take that as a positive for my clue setting skills (to be honest I dont think it was a good clue because Gower isn't "in" Abertawe. I was going to come on and rewrite it before DG got there first and solved it

                                              I'm sure I've either set something similar or solved a clue for cricketer in Swansea.
