Hi
I've got answers that I'm sure are right but have no idea why - could anyone enlighten me please?
24 across comforting mug picked up in Gabon (10) S_C_O_R_N_G
I reckon it's succouring?
21 across Solver's entertained by half of current crossword grid? (4) L_Y_U_
Is this layout?
Also 22 down must be York?
It was my Wedding Anniversary yesterday, so my head is a bit sore!

[bibblebub]

24a yes, sounds like 'sucker' + in + g

[bibblebub]

21a yes, solver = you (you are doing the crossword), half of current = lat(est) => LAyouT

[bibblebub]

should have added that I don't have the crossword so don't know what the clue for 22d is

[boxtops]

24 I would say Succouring, yes

[kayakamina]

think 22 was the House of YORK one.

Key on the outside = Y or K

Thank you bibblebub (what a lovely name!) and boxtops
