6d noise (like a floorboard when loose)sounds like a river often in USA. Hope that helps.

For the last four letters of 7A, Google for a Rock Group formed by Bryan Ferry in 1971.

Karen and John (from Arran). Thank you again for your help. I would never have got the Rock Group. With the regard to the sound, I was left with a choice of two words - both could have fitted.

When I first visited this Forum I used to wonder what RTE was which appears regularly on the Forum as well, always with the same numbers of our own dear RT. Does anyone know? Also I agree we should not have two sites. I visited the site you suggested John re the farad and it didn`t make much sense to me. On a simpler level does the word farad come from Faraday? Your knowledge amazes me Have a good weekend, everyone

Hi Mondrian, yes farad short for Faraday

Hi Mondrian,

Just another piece of useless information filed away when I worked in TV broadcasting. RTÉ is the Irish equivalent of the BBC, many years ago it used to be called http://www.rte.ie/">Radio Telefis Éireann but is now simply RTÉ Commercial Enterprises Ltd. A company wholly owned by the Irish people.

Late again this week but really struggled with this one. Took me all afternoon to work them out. As mentioned in previous posts, some awful clues. And as for 6D - what is it - just didn't make sense or is it just me?

Alternative clue for 6D:

One hundred rake mixed floorboard noise

H all, due to late delivery of RT, and week-long visit by one of my daughters and her lastest off-spring, I've been struggling to do this week's puzzle. However, looking at the threads has helped enormously. I thought this week's was really hard, liked 3d; 14a took me ages, I'd got the anagram and was trying to fit it to a place rather than a feature
Some of the clues were really easy 10a, 11a, 12a,but I'd've never got 22a without your collective brain power...

I can't get 5d what may take in marine creature
-p-n-e

6d grating sound
-r-a- - I've put great, but judging from comments that doesn't seem correct, and my brain's hurting

17d holds inner longing for animals
h-----
This one completely eludes me

19a the only composer I can think of is Sibelius, but can't see the why of it...

21a non-stop flight
-s---a-o-
???

Any help, obscure or otherwise greatly appreciated!!
Many thanks
Chris

Ops, back again, struggling with 4d - dodgy old presenter???
I've put Norman but can't think of a surname!!!
-a-g-a-

Apologies for all the help I'm asking this week
