Explosive Conservative - Conservative almost becoming bully (6) _ E _ T _ R. The only word we can get to fit is CENTER, but it doesn't work with the clue. Any ideas? Thanks :)
Last one for this crossword, then I can go to bed:
1D: Composer, upper-class, turned up in person in street (9). I have B?U?E?A?D.
If it is BOULEVARD (street), I can't parse it....
2d) Flowering plant first in bloom? Rejoicing about that (9)
We thought it to be EUPHONIES, but that doesn't fit with SKETCHLEY PARK - E _ P _ O _ S _ _ .
TIA :)...
