I'm having a lot of trouble with this, knowing nothing about dogs or coins or much else this morning.I have an answer for 15ac which means backing group, sounds like Busted, and I have BR???RS maybe. Am I on the right track? As you see, I don't know the kind of 18 we're looking for.
Then what about 10ac? Overseas ruler making figure of 8's. I have
B???A???? Appreciate your help, as always.

Hi ethereal

I thought it was a pig of a puzzle too. I'm afraid that only the S is right in your letters for 15a

10a has had some very helpful hints given previously on this thread.

I don't understand your question on 18.

Stuck on the last two - 20ac for which I have E---L and 21d for which I have --A-I-L-

Any pointers would be much appreciated, especially on 20ac!

Many thanks

20 ac your E is wrong

21d your A is wrong

you have letters wrong in both.

20a is the slang meaning of 'pants'

21d an odd habit is around a Catholic
