Enigmatic Variations 1592 - Warning By Gaston
17 Answers
Good day, many thanks for the useful and informative hints for the Listener! I’m done with it.
My attention is turned now to the EV 1592 as I’m attracted by its French references. Some hints would be appreciated for the following, thank you.
21a Face shed in quiet old village ( 7 ) ?????I?
2d Easily upset from blessing translated using English rather than German (8 ) E???????
4d Monkey releasing wail seeing opossum ( 7 ) Z?????E
6d Ill children giving rise to slight cold avoiding fellow ( 6 ) D?????
19d Draw region in which there are no clear-cut distinctions (8, 2 words ) ????A?E?
22d One stepping inside’s drunk hot bromide ( 8, 2 words ) ?O?EB???
(Preamble: A WARNING from Gaston to solvers runs clockwise round the perimeter of the grid starting at the top left cell, and gives an indication of how the definitions in 12 clues relate to their entries. Four further clues each contain a single superfluous word; these can be sequenced to give the deliverer of the WARNING on which Gaston’s is based. 21 further clues each contain a single misprinted letter which must be corrected before solving; read in clue order the correct letters spell out the venue where the WARNING was delivered. Unchecked letters in the perimeter might give MA’S IN A SIZE FIVE JUMPER. Chambers Dictionary (2016) is recommended. One answer is an abbreviation. )

1d 'partners of ramS' is the def - bridge player partners followed by bridge player oponents [your 'R' is wrong].
25 - How you'd adjust a car engine around RIB ('support'). It's a thematic word for 'grandstand'.
28 A word for 'soUrs'/spoils around AS [your 'L' is wrong].
30 'Is without' is the def, 'covering'/headgear (goes around) the chemical symbol for tin.
