19D Bunting about Ireland... (4) = CIRL
20D ...or about partners (4) ?O??
25A River's kind cleaner(5,4) ?L??? S?L?

Any help greatly appreciated!

I don't recognise the word you give as an answer to 19d, don't know the answer to 21d, but could 25A be something like Plate Silk? (I have never heard of that, either but imagine it might be a cloth for cleaning gold/silver plate and Plate is a river, ilk means kind in the sense of 'family/class'

for my '21d' (is hat what I put?) read 20d.

The cirl bunting is a type of yellowhammer;
c (about) and irl (abb. for Ireland).

Thank you - that was new to me.

Good afternoon, bruce, twm, aquarius.
For 20d., see previous wee stinker thread.
For 25a., think George Eliot's Mill!
Hoping this helps!

Thank you, Al.
I'm not doing the crossword but it's good to learn. Perhaps you were pointing towards Floss Silk...

Hmm, twm......!

Not getting partners stuff!

3a Of/to....single? (5-4)
?a??? f???

Hi Dunderheid,

I'm thinking maybe 3a is "fancy free" as in single. I don't get the Of/to connection though.
