For each clue, one apposite letter is absent from the wordplay. Clues are listed alphabetically by answer. Answers should be fitted into the numbered grid. Chambers Dictionary is recommended but does not give one commonly used entry.
Final query, I hope, to take me out of this quandary. Verification and answers for the following, please!
Come to be cuddling a special seal (6) : G?S?E? GASKET
That man sung songs (5) :?E?N? KEANE
Socialist’s repeatedly taken drugs, thus declines (7) : ?E?E?E? RECEDES
Broken toy, buckets, bottles and locks one’s gathered (9) : ?o?e?a?t? MOLECASTS
One key number that is imaginary or unknown (5) : ?V?R?

Fish used to provide these, cryptically – roe upon sea’s surface (9): ?O?E?A?T?
( FORECAST )?
Happy now to shift to Mephisto and the Sunday Times offerings which I look forwrd to!
Thanks again for seeing me through this one!

Thanks, Matakari. I stopped doing the Sunday Times Cryptic and Mephisto when I learned that ALL the answers are available first thing on Sunday mornings! That just put me off, made it less of a challenge.
There's a new puzzle (new to me as I get the Telegraph only on Sundays) in the Sunday Telegraph. It's cryptic, is called the Toughie - and is good.

Good morning, NACW, thanks for the information concerning Mephisto and the Sunday Times Crosswords. I admit that the challenge is lost with the given answers, but I use it as a learning tool to check how one arrives at these answers.
I would like to have a shot at the Sunday Telegraph Cryptics, but if they are like the Cryptic Connections Puzzles that appear occasionally on Mondays, I might be way out of my league.
As soon as I am free, I'll be having a look Big Dave's offerings for this month.
Have a great puzzling day!
