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

DEMUR
21:48 Tue 07th Apr 2015

YEARS

DEMUR
Year N?

To Long (for)
Pique means to stimulate or humour, sounds a bit like pick (best).
Sure 'Years'is better.

Sorry, meant to put DEMUR(E)
I disagree. Year + n (an unspecified number) gives yearn, to long (for).

It's ILL not I'll
Pique sounds like Peak (double meaning) decline in health

Just had another look, agree with jackdaw, yearN
ah
pique1
piːk/Submit
noun
1.
a feeling of irritation or resentment resulting from a slight, especially to one's pride.
"he left in a fit of pique"


Ill Humour

sounds like

Peak

Best

Yearn... I agree with Jackdaw. Good explanation thanks :)

Ok thanks I get it... Demure = mild, no end gives demur. I thought that meant to politely decline or refuse not protest but fits. Thanks Baldric :)
