roof: briefly could be shortly

Why is it the simplest leave me stuck? Unusuaĺy for me I've almost finished except for the SE corner. I'm presuming J C Bamford has something to do with 28ac One third of residents accommodated stray but can't see why. (7) Am stuck on 20d The woman''s supporting the Guardian guides (6) I have -s-e-- but for want of a hint, that's how far I've got. Thanks in anticipation.

20d How 'The Guardian' would describe themselves, to start the answer.

For 20 D I can see a six-letter word for guides, noun. It's got 'the woman' inside...

28 Has one third of 'residents' literally, inside a four-letter word for accommodation. The definition is 'stray', verb.

Sorry, my earlier post should have been 'the woman's'.

Thanks all. I shall look at them soon. Now making lunch. What! Lunch at this time? Well it is Sunday. Her outdoors has gone to get the Observer. I daren't look at Everyman yet!
