25D Damn fruit: ???

7 crossword puzzle?

No. more I haven't got my paper yet.Must resist

This is a wild guess, but crossword puzzle fits the first one.

Got the 1st one, forty winks ZZ not sure about the rest!
Think Fruit is FIG as in don't ' give a ...'

Thanks both. Seems a good wild guess.

It's an anagram of slow producers + zz (40 winks).

Thanks Rossim, I'm obviously a 'slow producer' of getting things this morning! By the way does anyone know where 'I don't give a feather or a fig' comes from? I do know about 'Brass Monkeys' tho if anyone is interested, perhaps we could start a whole new forum?

The derisive English idiom I don't care a fig probably originates from the abundance of this fruit Just checked on Wikipedia for you :-)

Frankly my dear,I don't give a fig doesn't have quite the same ring about it does it?

Douglas Adams's "Meaning of Liff" claims that the original line was "Frankly, my dear, I don't give an ebbsworth"
