This has been a tough week what with Thursday's Specie! Please finish me off with answers to
12d Perhaps bowler's fixture is fine, when pressure drops, for instance (6) ?at?e?
21a He died overturning French charge for lacustrine resources (7, two words) ?o??ro?
25d A fellow leaves light settled (4) ??is
Two other points.
22d Tree is not Spensarian according to art (5) ???se

Two more points

Is it necessary at this stage to write out the whole clue etc when asking for help?
What is the word play to althaea?

[Voulez-vous]

12d) hatpeg

[Voulez-vous]

22d) Nyssa
25d) Alit
21a) Bog Iron?

[Voulez-vous]

p.s I suspect your 30a may be wrong.

[Farrnorth]

Thanks Voulez-vous. Yes you're right it should be Britska. Do you know the answer to my 'two points'?

[kayakamina]

It is best to give the full clue thereby including those without the puzzle.

ALT (Rest) HAE A (have/bear- Aviemore/Scotland)

[Voulez-vous]

Alt = rest hae = bear (scots form of have) a = before. Whole thing is a plant.

Yes, I think the whole clue is needed for those that don't do the crossword, or have already posted :-)

[Farrnorth]

Thanks Kayakamina. It's been a tough week! Hope my next one (Radio Times) tomorrow will be a little easier!

[kayakamina]

I do apologise Voulez-vous for intruding into your conversation with Farrnorth; I thought maybe you'd gone off for a cup of coffee!

No worries Kayakamina! The more the merrier! :-))
