Could someone please help out with 1a Bygone gentility
[8,3,3,4] I've got my head round most of it, but going no where on this one - many thanks S

[seekeerz]

little grey cells have just kicked into gear, thanks, but I'm sure I'll be back again

ps merched thank you for the offer, as mentioned, I'll probably need some help at some stage.
I can't believe there have been no questions, so far.

[diane1706]

jan

Diane do you need the answer or a clue?

[seekeerz]

yes, thanks Jan, luckily I picked them up the day it came out.
I'm down to about 5 - 6, how are you doing ???

[Aquagility]

It's what first comes to mind, diane, a stage show. but the first word is a plant, not poisonous.

[seekeerz]

Good morning AQ and how are you this morning ?? Home from terrifying the French are you ? and did you have a great birthday.?

I gather you've finished this months - well I'd better make you day and let you help me out - what is the second part of 2d please, is it 'acid'? I doubt it, but who knows with this. S xxx

[Aquagility]

Hi, Steff. Yes, just back. Fantastic hol, wall to wall sun. Dawn to dusk swimming - and then some! Now just off to Devon (this minute) to see ailing sister. Back tomoro'.

And next Saturday fly to Turkey for a week's sailing with my 2 sons & co.

Will try to get a KM entry in on Sunday - can't let you have it all your own way! LOL. Aq.

[Aquagility]

PS. Can't help with 2d. Not got 20a or 23a myself yet. You do it, and I'll be yelling for help on Sunday.

[seekeerz]

have fun and don't fall overboard, whatever you do !!!
I haven't got 20a or 23a either, so back to work !!!

[slaney]

Hi steff.. the second word of 2d is 'soup'

[hisgrace]

20a Ebonics and 22a Three Cornered. Mrs M

[seekeerz]

thanks slaney & hisgrace - looks like I've got 21d wrong, so I'd better go away and do some more thinking !!

[Ont-ice]

Hi Steff
Try alternate spelling for 21D. It had me baffled for a while also.

[Aquagility]

Hi, Steff, if you're still struggling. The first word of 2d is just plain stupid.
Yes, O-ice, there seems to be many ways of spelling 21d, but I can only find one which fits S?H?O?
Nearly finished but not quite. Struggling on.

[augustusH]

if you still need 1a its Lavender and Old Lace
