Thanks Sallyw and Tornface - I couldn't have got that! I see yell but like tornface cannot
understand the rest of it. Trouble is, it doesn't seem to help me with the rest but I will enjoy struggling with it a while longer.

Chambers gives definition of blind as (slang) "to drive extremely fast and recklessly"

....... you learn something new every day doing crosswords!

Thanks for that Siamcat, I had tentatively put it in, but wasn't sure of the wordplay - hence ? at the end.

the only word I can fit in is disheveled but cannot see why it would be correct.
