25a. Hussy (US in jumble of shy)
1a Speed

Don't forget that there is a supurflous letter in the answer to some clues.

Thankyou both, I'd forgotten about the extra letters, all is now clear.
The clue to 1A gives you SPINE (SPIN plus E) which loses the N in an "operation" (you know it is the N that has to go because the result has to be a genuine word).
The clue to 25A gives you HUSSY (anagram of SHY captivating US), which then loses its final Y.
I might be wrong but I went for SPADE (spade bone) (is=S, dressing=PAD+E) SPAE is entered

Thanks Rapparee, all finished now. Just sitting looking at this week's Inquisitor and it doesn't bode well.
I haven't looked at it yet but keep posting questions if you get stuck.

Probably be speaking to you later in the week. Have a good Easter. Judy.
SPADE is correct Max, with 'D' the letter being 'delivered'.
