All done but the parsing of one clue has me puzzled.

Bill having Lewinsky mainly on end of desk (5).

Answer must be TABLE (for desk). Bill = TAB. I don’t like “Lewinsky mainly” for LE.

Am I being too picky or does anyone else that “mainly” isn’t much of a clue for just the first two letters?

Alternatively, am I barking up the wrong tree entirely? ;-)

Have you given the clue correctly? I think it was L = Lewinsky mainly + end of the, ie last letter of the, E … desk.

Thanks. You were quite right. My eye must have skip right over the word “the” in the clue.

Glad I could help. There are sometimes clues that are a little odd, but they usually work!
