many thanks Novalis
34a ballcock ( bouncer is a type of ball in cricket, **** is a familiar form of address to a man )
27d Sallow ( all = 100% in sow ( source of meat ).
THink 31a probably begins inter ( as in Inter Milan )
Just noticed second part of ballcock has been censured!!
31a. Interpol.
Glasman beat me to Interpol -- Inter + Pol(and)
Question Author
thankyou novalis and glasman - still don't get Interpol tho!
Sorry - just seen your posting.
Inter is Inter Milan, a Milanese team.
Poland is country.
And dropping indicates that and is removed from Poland.
Putting the two together gives Interpol, the world ( police ) force.
Hope that helps.
Best wishes and happy solving.
