8a Opening time ignored character 4 - ??EF

15a Welcoming - with tears? 8 - GREETINGS?
if it's GREETINGS can anyone explain the tears?

29a Police station for deputy PM? Not half 4 - if it's TANA, why?

39d Sign one set of books inside shed 6 (hyphenated)
?UI??O.Any help appreciated

To greet means to cry - in Scotland

[GetOverIt]

8a - an opening is cleft. ignore the last letter T gives you clef = a musical character.

Many thanks, getoverit,drb & baitress. I get it now. Though how us sassenach( is that how you spell it?) English are supposed to know what greet means, I don't know. OOps, I've not upset the Scots again, have I? Thanks, again. Much appreciated. This is the first time I have tried the Spectator.

No one should try the Spectator until they have worked it at least three times.

[zita-green]

I don't understand you, drb.

[dr b]

Few people do.

Ah. An enigma. Thanks for your help
