If you wear your Welingtons, I'm sure you'll succeed.
I've got the answer to 8A, but I still don't understand the first line of the clue. Can anyone give a hint of its logiv

I mean logic. Someone must have moved the keyboard a little to the left. (That reminds me of Basil Fawlty).

Bees. Re 8a. Read the clue this way: (To be disparaging about) (desire) (is middle class). Does this help?

Hi Bees,

To be disparaging is to boo...

Kind regards,

Re Post 26: Thanks Karen. I hadn't thought of 'say' being a link to another word of similar meaning and then having to work out the anagram. Didn't stop me from guessing the right answer though! And no, your post was in no way confusing. TCx

Tom Cat, etc

My interpretation of 1d is slightly different in that it doesn't require an anagram. I'll try and explain it without giving any more away than has already been provided in previous posts.

Say = state with a word to run fast (backwards)around the word state.

Please could someone point me in the right direction with 6d. I have an answer but cannot see the relevance of Lavender. Thankyou

Name of an actor - helps if you are as old as me and remember Dad's Army. Does that help?
