Bernie I can't parse 5d):

Like poetic mariner, worked with son for instance (7).

I've got A?C?E?T placed, so I'm pretty sure it must be ancient with the mariner link. I wondered if you could throw any light on it?

Andy

Anag of ancient +s = instance

Ancient 'worked with son' could lead to an anagram of 'ancient'+'s' which would give 'instance'?

Thank you Rambler, so it's kind of a subtractive anagram then......which I don't think would have dawned on me for quite some time....so thanks again.

Andy

Thanks to you too Malone.

Hi andy, like you I had ancient, thanks to the mariner reference, the rest???

Ah well I get it now..but it was just one of those I couldn't see.

20a Was a new one on me, never heard of it before. Like I always say, learn something new everyday!

Yes, I had to look that one up..it was a bit more of a challenge today.
