.....and thanks from me too , Orson. Cant believe that I've spent so long grid-staring after such a quick solve !

You're all welcome. Now for the Listener which apparently is easier than usual. A bit of a shame considering the current circumstances.

.......and EV tomorrow .... no prizes ...who's going to bother?

Thank you everyone. I was not looking wide enough on bottom row.

@16a Can anyone confirm, or otherwise, if it's every setter's favourite Argentinian revolutionary? Only I can 't even begin to parse it!

Hi Brendan, Yes, it's him - look his name up as a word in Chambers.

Excellent, many thanks Begemot.

Am stuck on last two but, unfortunately, the last letter of one is the middle letter of the other - broad hints welcome:-)

6d My facetious Welsh manner (4) ?HE?

16a Glasgow jolly lively with cocaine inhaled )5) ?A?C?

I've looked up "jolly" in my Scots dictionary but it only gives two words (waulie and gawsie), neither of which match my letter pattern.

16 Your 'gawsie' isn't too far away! You need a three-letter jolly, blithe (!) and need to insert 'with cocaine' - two letters, not just one.

6 D This was new to me, and it's hard to hint at... I'll try.

If you still need help with 6 D....

The first three letters are a very common, everyday word (maybe the most-used word...) which Chambers says can mean 'my, our'. Then add the usual Welsh. The definition is 'manner'.
