33d: Analyse mood that's transformed uncouth rich kid? (11).
L*A***M**** Really stuck on this corner. Hope if someone can help with this clue, the rest may follow - but not entirely sure of that!

Thanks scorpiojo. Afraid I haven't yet come to terms with the slang expressions which now filter into this crossword.

That has helped enormously, but I am now left with 54a: Welshman's huffing and puffing, say, putting me out (4) - R*Y*.
I can think of RAYS or ROYS, neither of which makes sense. Any help please?

Thanks Malone, I would never have got that in a month of Sundays! Perhaps you can help with another? 19a: Girl's watch in red from Latin America. The answer seems to be Chloe, but why?

Chloe, girl. Lo = Watch, look and Che (Guevara) is the 'red from Latin America'. (red/communist).

...and the Lo, watch, goes 'in red', inside Che.

I wish I had your powers of deduction Malone. It seems the intention of the setter is to infuriate rather than satisfy!

Thanks, Despard. My 'powers of deduction' don't always work, but 30 years of doing cryptic crosswords is a definite help!
