Thankyou kayakamina sarumite & blueberry

This is why I find cryptics so hard. I've never heard of Gar and couldn't see what it what it had to do with either fish or kid. I usually manage to complete it putting in the more obvious answers. Then using the answers other ABs ask and my trusty spellcheck and working backwards to see how the answers are arrived at. It ususally works and I feel that I am training my mind to see what the compiler wants, I've just looked up Gar - short for Garfish and I assume that rag is a synonym for kid - ie to make fun of ?

I will keep going and maybe just maybe I will understand Thank you all again
granny ..I also struggle at times with the Sunday cryptic .. find it far more difficult than the Saturday puzzle as a rule.
best wishes ;0)
