I have finished this, but cannot fully see the answers to three of them.
5D - "Crush emptied into rather large
glass" - answer appears to be
"schooner" but I don't see the "crush"
part of it.
20A - "Handle that turns opener round back
of tin" - answer appears to be
"winder" but I don't see the "opener"
connection.
19D - "Sportsman's partner in nude,
abandoned without an income" - answer
looks to be "unwaged" but how does
the "wag" part connect with "sports-
man's partner"?

Crush emptied = ch. This is in Sooner (= rather)

of tin" - answer appears to be
"winder" but I don't see the "opener"
connection.
I guess opener = wider around (ti)n.
19D - "Sportsman's partner in nude,
abandoned without an income" - answer

the "wag" part connect with "sports-
man's partner"?
Partners of sportsmen are referred to as WAGs (Wives and girlfriends).

Well, I went to bed late and I got up early. My candle is well and truly burnt! Many thanks, Samak, for bothering to answer at such an unearthly hour! I wasn't able to get my mind totally around these but your assistance has helped a lot!
