Is it really too much to ask whether your questions are CRYPTIC or Times2? Please specify, as it can be time-wasting reading your questions.

I am stuck on 3 Cryptic clues, and now feel too nervous to ask for help!

Hi Monty, fire away. While it would be clearer if you had indicated which version in the "header"it's hardly crime of the century. I'll help if I can.

Cheers BBM2, as I told you I'm now in a win-win situation but an Ozzie victory is a very minor profit so come on the black caps. Sorry busby.

Thanks to you all for your replies..am I just getting too old and cranky? (Don't understand the cricket references!)

However, I am stuck on 7d , 11d, 50d, and 53a (INUPIAT?)

This is the 1140 Cryptic, which I have found severely hard today, compared with the last few weeks.

Off to bed now, an hour less sleep, will check in again in the morning. Kind regards to all...Monty.

7. Footers, those who foot the bill, ie pick up the tabs.
11.top of supermarkets = s within (packs) "to a T" (spot on).
50.out = taboo, a + b (bishop) in too (as well)
53. You have a few letters wrong; native = inbuilt, the tips of basketball are "b" + "L" inserted sepatately in inuit, a Greenlander.
