I'm a week in arrears with my Jumbos but
could someone please confirm that these
two answers are correct, and if so, why?
38 Down - "Domestic finally covered
with diamonds before all is over". The
answer is CINDERELLA, who will be the
domestic and "ALL" at the end has been
reversed, but I don't see the remainder.
Also, nearby:-
52 Down - "Tree with failing crown
which may fall and inconvenience
walkers". Is this ARCH (with LARCH
losing its top)? Arch of the foot?

c in d ere lla

yes, (l)arch, a fallen one will inconvenience walkers.

Struggling with this weeks though.

Also, the definition is Cinderella. I dont help out very often, so to get the chance, even if it is late, is welcome.

Thanks tornface and Smiffy. I can see the basics now. If I can help you, tornface,
with Jumbo 963, let me know. I haven't
even started this one yet!

Thanks rocketman. I'm completely stuck on the right hand side. If someone could help with 8a it might get me going.

City female felt illiterate, we hear - the woman given pride of place (9)

No letters :(

Try SHEFFIELD

Thanks smiffy, but I can't see why?

It has got me going again though, thanks

She for the woman given pride of place (the start), f for female, feeled for the the illiterate part of field

Yes I see it know. I've not enjoyed this weeks much, but I'll struggle on for a wee while yet.
