8a singer Derek has endless desire for port (9) - ***r*o***. is it 'cherbourg' and, if so, why (aprt from cher being singer)? 6d emphatically take a sound sleep (5) - ***s*. is it 'crash'? 3d nearly opening comic for a chat (7) - ***n*a* ? 16a plastic money and kisses out loud (7) - *e*s*e* ?
Excellent - how could I forget Bo Derek!?! Still don't understand 'chinwag'! ...and I got as far as 'rest' but failed to link with 'w'. Thank you very much! 'Perspex' v clever!
