ps I searched by typing in 4478 to get answers to ST4478. The page it returns does not contain the answer to 13a
If you'd searched st4478 you would have found 13a no problem
Oh dear .....someone has to be head boy I suppose .
Why do you have to be so patronising ?
It may well have been answered before ......so what .
This is a website not an exam .
When using the AB search box I suggest you type in a key word from the clue. In this case the key word OASIS throws up this clue at the top of the list

For comparison, I did a search using simply "4478", which returned 11 clue solutions (1a,5d,10a,13a,13d,14d,15a,16a,16d,19a and 24d). I also did a search using "ST4478" as the criteria. This returned 6 solutions (1d, 13a,2d,9a,18d,20a,25a ) Notice that only one solution was common to both searches i.e. 13a. In my opinion, this is a strange result for a modern search engine which would usually return all results with the search "4478" including the subset listed as "ST4478"
Moral : you need to search using both criteria
We live and learn
Yep, PIANOLA.
P for pressure, IAN is the man, LA is the city (of Los Angeles) with IAN and LA being placed about O the first letter (the leader) of oasis.
