Re(maine)d

Toilet seat

thanks - if it's 'toilet seat' which I am sure you are right about 'ameer'(23d) and 'artemis' (17d) must be wrong...

Attempt....Emeer

Of course! thanks

I got "attempt", but didn't really fully understand it - could you explain please?

attempt = shot
a tt(couple of times) empt (cut free)

Hi not sure on 9a and 19a, can anyone help?

9 ac You would start a letter with ... and then initials
19ac not a spud but a ... upper class magazine
But why is "empt" "cut free"
