Thanks AJT
8d Dire trips somehow dominated by Sir John Lack-Latin and co?(9)
15a An eternity becoming member(7)
Why is Eddoes the answer to 9d Short rich guard provides roots(6)?

Hi MH,

Unable to solve No.1 but if it is any help, Sir John Lack-Latin and co was the term protestants gave to bumpkin catholic priests centuries ago. Tried making an anagram of dire trips and can make priest but have ird left over.

MH,

Do you have any letters for either clue?

Hi Colin
8d P?I?S(?)?R??-poissarde fits in but I can't rationalise it
15ac ?ERA?O(from eddoes)N-?ERASON if you include poissarde!!
9d E?D???
sorry for the mess

The answer is PRIESTRID anag. See Chambers for def.

Congrats The Joker!
What about the others in my first thread. And why is 30ac Real Ale?

Joker, Thanks for putting me out of my misery. I was on the right track with priest but couldn't do anything with the RID.

Does anyone want to buy a Concise Oxford Dictionary?

Possibly

Peraeon - A Crustacean's thoracic walking leg (Chambers)

Well done JDOvengloves!
To finish off, please explain why 9d is eddoes and 30ac is real ale

Hi Colin(swansea jack)
Perhaps you should consider getting "RID" of your Oxford concise dictionary and replacing it with Chambers!!!
