Listener N0 4774 - The Usher By Hidewell

Good afternoon, I am pleasantly surprised to encounter this week’s Listener which seems very Matakari-friendly. Even if I do not reach the end game, I’m pleased to have got answers to all of the clues...

Listener 4774

I’ve attempted my first Listener crossword, possibly unwisely, and I’m nearly done apart from this clue - Gelding's odds at the off, about the same (5) I have ???D? - I’m pretty sure about that D....

Spectator 2614

This week’s Speccy is a bit of an animal. Although I’m on the back straight, two clues are eluding me, both linked to 11a, so this q is probably best for those who have already solved that one. 40a...

I’ve excelled myself on this week’s TLS, but would like to check on one clue. Second person, we hear, to imbibe a soupçon of hock that’s wonderful. (5) I’m thinking YAHOO because I have Y?H?O but I’d...
