Three to go. We are late getting the Guardian puzzles in Queensland.
15d Cynical view of potato and salad (7,3)
I have M ? R ? H ? S ? possible U ?
I am thinking of spud for the potato which would give pud for the salad. How about it?
22d There's something fishy in bad whisky ...(6)
I have R ? D ? possible G ?
29 a Screw container (3,6)
I have P ? ? ? ? ? K ? T
I am thinking Peg basket, or bucket or casket.
The last letter of the first word is the possible G from 22d
The second letter of the second word is possibly U from 15d if it is spud.

Thanks

Thanks guys . I have not heard of a pay packet being called a screw. Must be an English thing.
The others are obvious once you get the Y in Red Eye
