I think 13a is FASCI - the plural of fascio, an organized political group or club in Italy.

34a stellar a tor

scrub my answer...22d looks very much like "threep" which makes my answer to 34a a load of codswallop:o)

34a per pet R.A. tor

[foxspur]

Thanks, all, Fasci is right, it's as plus the first letters of Independent, Clubs, and Foremost.

I like perpetrator I get pet ra tor and per is rep backwards and I guess perpetrator is an executor or agent.

And I obviously need to get up north more to be in tune with threep!

Thanks again

hi foxspur the "per" of perpetrator represents "a" in the clue, e.g. 50p per pound...50p a pound. Regards, judy

Thanks, Judy, that is sneaky and one I'll try to remember!
