Thanks. I am a bit out of my league with some of these. With this crossword I usually do about twenty clues then grind to a halt! Some of the verbiage in the answers is archaic, eg 'Dam' in 'Dream'. Is 16dn, 'Hear about odd exercises being rubbish' - trumpery? - another?

Hiya toffer,

Nobody has answered you pal.

finished this last night and it wasn't as difficult as it has been lately with some real sticklers for clues
You are correct with TRUMPERY

Hear = Try (in a court of law - a hearing being a court trial) about (containing) odd = rum + PE = exercises
Trumpery is Rubbish = Def

Most grateful both. Will just keep on keeping on! Some of the answers seem a bit far fetched, but perhaps such a sentiment merely reflects my inability to comprehend.
