Stuck with top right hand corner.
8D 4,4 'Fly I'm obliged to carry off in beer barrel'

Hope I'll be able to do 5A & 6D if anyone can help me with the above.

I dont have this newspaper , but could it be "take wing"?
Ta = i'm obliged (thanks)
keg= beer barrel
win= carry off ( a prize)

hope this helps

6d Pomp

[Annie Jay]

K,
I'd got upshot but don't understand why 6D is pomp. Also, is 13A flow? Thank you for being so generous with your time & expertise; hope I'll be able to emulate you with more time & practice!

For 13a I have blow as in through a pipe or waste your money.

Thanks Geo., that makes sense. Just realised why I had an 'F' at the beginning - had 'flue' in & forgot to rub the F out! Well, thanks to you all, I can now send it off & plough on with Sunday's & Jumbo. Many thanks.
