It doesnt fit with your letters but I had Hand Mill
ie - H = horse
DAMN moving = and m
and BADLY = ill

And I had IMPORT for 47d but wasn't sure if it wwas correct.
Sent it off now so its too late.

Francis, how does 'import' work out? Thanks for HAND MILL, but I thought 41d was KNOCK OFF. I know yours has gone off already, but you may still be interested (What's a hand mill anyway?) Very puzzled, Timessolver.

Francis Asis

If you grind something you hand mill it - that's what i was thinking. I didn't work IMPORT out - it was the only word i could think of that fit (lol). What's the clue for 41d?

baitress

41d - clock off, not knock off

baitress

47d - import. It means weight or importance, also an incoming ship brings in imports.

Thank you Francis Asis and Baitress. Wonderful explanations. The fog has lifted; I was completely in the dark on these. Francis, as your copy has gone, the clue for 41d was: Stop Labour and Conservative slogan supporting open door policy? (5,3)
