EEEK! What a shock. Hope all works well Nora and Ash.

Good morning friends! Hope today's offering will be entertaining. Happy solving.

I set crossies just for pleasure. I wonder if some of you excellent regulars would like to try a few of my clues? Since they're new, no letters!

Please withhold solutions till 5 pm (GMT) to allow others to have a go.

1. Stop doing that to keep us back from suit! (5.2.3)

2. Shock evening dress for swimmers (4-5)

3. The Greyhound Derby’s run without her boy, her gun, her underwear... (5)

4. ... nevertheless it’s a race most hate (2,4)

5. Video the calamity first then shuffle out (8)

Morning, jolan.
Yes, it does take a bit of getting used to; some great improvements, some less popular.

At first look I got #3 (actually it took rather more than a look!). I will continue to think about the others.

'Morning Chris. Yes indeed. As you can see from my 'admin' post. the Bold/Underline/Italics bit didn't work for me. It'll be interesting to see where this direct reply to your post appears. J

Think I have 3 and 4 one of them with an IOM link perhaps. Possibly 2 but can't parse it.

I'm writing down your clues Jolan so I don't have to keep scrolling down to find them.

Why Jolan, what have you done to yourself? You look so different. Will have to put this on ice for a bit, since I'm in the midst of scraping (coincidentally) ice off of everything. I'm sure we all miss having you on top. :)
