Appetency (F)ANCY around P(softly)PET (favourite)E(uncle's rear)! Found it difficult & not very rewarding with a few exceptions,too. Just keep on asking!

Humble apologies Torquemada!

What really put me off asking was to get another put down by 'Torky!

I thought it was something to do with "appetite" !

I haven't put anyone down, and Sudokulover doesn't owe me an apology - just the chap who asked for a hint and got an answer (though he is probably such a gent he won't want one).

Thanks everyone. Appetency is not a word I know so hinting would not have been enough.
I had p (soft) and pet (favourite) but that was not helping

Well I've still got 9 to do, but I've also got melon and parma ham ready to nosh in front of the fire with a black-and-white movie.

All I can say is good luck to everyone - as for Paul - he can go.... (no, that was veering on the very impolite!!)

Down to the last 5 clues. The solution to 5a would probably be enough

“A date of despair for Poland, cold – and clean?” (7)

I’ve got just ?S?????

Could be Asun??? . With P and C ?

I have "aseptic", but I don't understand all the word play, though the date is obviously "Sept I"

German invasion of Poland, 1st September

A Sept l c(old)=aseptic=clean
