21d Impanel

Thank you - means several of my existing answers are wrong. I know when discretion is the better part of valour so I will retire and concede defeat!

[JJ109]

1a "this" missing "is = Th + rave (knees up) = thrave (archaic number usually many or 24 in dialects)
21d "an"(one) inside "impel"(drive) = Impanel

I know how you feel, I struggled to parse a few this week also. I had a couple wrong and it took ages to sort out.

[JJ109]

Where you have W for 4d tht should be V for Vinegarplant

Thanks! Last 2 (clearly gone wrong somewhere) 18a Pig, one replaced by English farmer ?OEN. 27a One doing work taken in by parliamentarian ?UPP.

18 Boer (Boar swapping the A for an E)

[JJ109]

I "think" 27a is MOPP (MP surrounding "OP")
24d is "woeful" to give the O

Thank you - corrected my mistakes and got it done!
