Having got the down clues along the top row, the answer to the Marx clue became apparent.

This is normally the way with long clues, i.e. You see the answer before you work it out.
Makes the skill into defining them redundant, methinks.

It's a bit late to "beg to differ", but I think 22d has nothing to do with electric motors: it's just 1 wd mng bushes split into 1+ 4 letters, the first being an abb for the colour & the 2nd a kind of plant---but I may always be wrong...............

Hi GK
You may well be correct - I may have "over-complicated". I wasn't happy about the definition in your interpretation (my first thought), but I suppose it is OK.

Ooheer I actually meant the long one re Marx bros too tired to think at this time but think if we got this we just may be able to set sail at 4 am

I'm reluctant to give the whole answer (it's about 1/3 of the crossword), but it starts "IF I"
