Now solved all....
Except 1 down: 'long unspecified period of time' - ? E?R? And 23 across - ' end to mild protest' -? E?U? (rebut?) but how does answer fit the clue?
Also query 8 across - I'll humour is best on the radio' -?I?U? (got answer for this as pique - thanks Baldric) but how does that fit the clue?!!
Anyone solved these yet?
Anyone want answers to the rest I think I have.
Hope you had a good Easter weekend or. If you do not celebrate Easter a good weekend anyway. Beautiful sunset here tonight. Elizabeth
