a lead.

Dear Jerry,
I was doing well yesterday afternoon but social life took over and brain is addled this a.m.!! 31A would kick start me!! I have ?ne?g?????d Ta. Bob; (grateful of Castillonnès France)

Bonjour Bob,
I believe the answer to this is UNENGLISHED an
anag. of Sind Huegeln.
All the best to you,
Jerry

Bonjour Jerry!!
I can see the anagram and had it on a short list but do not really undertand the wordplay i.e. the reference to "They are hills". But - thanks a lot and I shall struggle on.
Au revoir,
Bob

Hi Bob,
According to the gospel of St.Chambers "un-Englished" means NOT translated into English,
hence Sind Hegeln is not translated into English.
Hope this clears the matter up,
A bentoit,
Jerry

The penny has dropped!! Thank you.
Bob

Hi DJ.

I'm guessing that the 'x' comes from 'extrusive' for 14d. But ... I think that 'extrusive' isn't the answer as 'Old boy' can just be abbreviated as 'OB'.

DJ.

I should have added that if you still need the answer/wordplay for 16 across, please let me know.
