1d ".... ..., Cyril" football catchphrase [4,3] I know "Up there, Cazaly" but no Cyril - disadvantage of being downunder !!
Any help most welcome

[Magyar]

"Nice One Cyril, nice one son, nice one Cyril let's have another one." I think it's a Tottenham Hotspur song about Cyril Knowles, one of there ex-long serving players.

Cyril Knowles was the inspiration for the popular record "Nice one, Cyril" which peaked at number 14 in the singles charts in March 1973

Thank you both for such prompt answers - if either of you is still around - 9a 1831 novel by Walter Scott [6,9] is proving tricky too and would be appreciated thanks S

[Magyar]

I'm still around :-) How about Castle Dangerous

[seekeerz]

Many thanks Magyar :-) back to you. spelling Dolgellau correctly would've been a bonus but I still didn't see any mention of that novel in my trawlings.

another one if you wouldn't mind [husband is starting to bang things around in the background]

14a Expression from the French meaning looked upon with disapproval [3,2] my Fr. is pretty hopeless

[Pantheon]

14a mal vu

[seekeerz]

Many thanks to you also, Pantheon :-) am I right in thinking 14d is 'may as well' ?? awful clue !!

[Pantheon]

literal translation is 'badly seen'

according to Chambers Dictionery -

Mal vu ..... to be frowned upon or looked upon with disapproval

[sarumite]

Hi Steff .. yes 14d is " May as Well " but agree with you not a good clue. ;o)

[seekeerz]

Hi sarumite, thanks for that, see you sometime Saturday !!

cheers, Steff
