22 Down - "Current period a lengthy one for gnome" (5)
(A-A-E)

AD age

I wondered if it might be - presumably an adage can be a gnome?

It is :-)

Many thanks for your help with both.

You're welcome.

Hey people. Am I being particularly dense or just normally dense but what the heck is the unchecked in 25ac? TIA

Could you give the clue, bazotto? I've no longer got my copy - and it's a good idea anyway, as there are helpful solvers on here who don't see all the papers!

Hi malone, good point re incIuding the clue, I haven't dealt with my recycling yet;

25a. Report of outstanding au pair (3)

Duo, sounds like due + o(h).

Thanks, ginge. I like the clues to be given, it widens things out . I don't do often do the Telegraph puzzles,for example, but like helping out when I can... and when the clues are there!
