I'm finding this weeks a real problem. I've got it all solved apart from 23 across which I think is an anagram of arrival less the l and with 3 letters meaning "hot" in the mix I've got _ A _ _ _ V _ A _.
As for 21 down I'm thinking of tata but shouldn't it be hyphenated? help please

Any idea what the solution may mean?

You`re right about 23 ac being an anagram. Boy from a very famous public school (Winston Churchill`s I believe)
The other one is `Tara` which is said in some places, and refers to the name of the plantation in `Gone With the Wind`. Mags.

WOW but you are all so quick. its just taken me 10 minutes to get the correct log-in for this site. thank you all for your rapid response. You wouldn't belive it but this is the first time in over 2 years that I have been unable to finish the RT CROSSWORD could it be the begining of the slippery slope? Once again thank you all.

Don`t worry oldyalan, it happens sometimes. Two weeks ago I finished it straight off in one sitting (tho I`d got one wrong) but last week`s I found a real stinker. This week so-so. It`s like a quiz - if you know the answers it`s easy . Remember - if you can`t find your car keys, don`t worry. If you cant remember what car keys are for........then worry ! Mags.
