4a German chap - Pat can join him folks (4) - a-s. Looks like Hans but can't parse it.
3d Be a prospective settler (3) o-e. Looks like owe but can't parse it.
19a Runs berserk as PM not good enough (4) a-o-. Looks like amok but can't quite parse it.
Struggling with bottom right corner as everyone seems to be although I am sure that Erbia is right for 18a "Balkan out of bounds in compound"

[dannyk13]

4a.Pat + hans = Pathans (folks)

[Neveracrossword]

10 AM, morning +OK.

[dannyk13]

3d, owe = duty to settle a debt

[Maxymax464]

Thanks Danny

18a (S) erbia(n)

[Flonska]

19a Yes = Amok (a.m. ok - i.e. p.m. not ok)

[Maxymax464]

Yes I was happy with erbia. Still can't quite parse amok though

[Maxymax464]

Thanks Flonska got it now. Thinking of Teresa!

[Neveracrossword]

Glad Am ok works!

[Maxymax464]

Sorry neveracrossword should have thanked you too!

[Maxymax464]

So stuck on 4 clues now:-
20a Irreproachable Frenchwoman first lady to load cargo (6)
15d Excited state over side issue at Glamis Castle (5) u-b--
18d Brief trial of strength capturing something cold-blooded (3) e-- (wonder about eel but can't parse it.
16d Flag-stone (4) -a--
Any help appreciated!

19a amok?

[mallyh]

am (morning) pm(afternoon)

[Maxymax464]

got amok ok thanks. it is the other 4 clues struggling with!

[Flonska]

18d Eft? (BriEF Trial)?

[Flonska]

20a I think might be something like Steeve? where Ste is abbr for Sainte (French holy woman + Eve (first woman). I think steeve is also connected to sailing ships and cargo but not certain?

[Maxymax464]

yes of course eft is a newt. thanks flonska that looks good.If so T is the second letter for 20a.

[JJ109]

16d Pave possibly
Flagstone = pave
flag (highlight) stone (jewellery) = pave (setting)

[Flonska]

Add to post @ 10:25 - A steeve is a sort of derrick.

[Maxymax464]

Steeve also looks good Flonska thanks. if right that means 15a is u-b-e and 16d is -a-e.
