Hi gasmanjack
6 is a rather unlikely backwards hidden.
7 is my favourite clue. "More" isn't a comparitive!

Hi Gasmanjack,

6a - definition is "president" and is a 3 letter "vehicle" followed by a letter denoting it is "eighth".

7d "More" is a name and is an anagram/"playing" of "out" + a 7 letter "key player" - definition is "More possibly".

Thanks both; Chrise, I think you’re referring to 5.

you're right!

Working my way through this gradually. Have come a bit unstuck in the southwest corner. Felt 2d should really have been peer rather than peer's.

At this point help with 16 down would be valuable

anagram ship story

Hi Rocky,

16d is a straight anagram - definition is a rather loose "shaky grounds"

Thanks Brendan I wasn't seeing that at all. I got that there was certainly part of an anagram in there but the rest was a blank.

Ok all done all be it with a little help from Crossword solver at the end. Quite enjoyable though a few words that were new to me. Never heard of 15a and not helped by the fact that I got hung up on the wrong mafia boss word.

Hi everyone

I thought this was going to be easy when I wrote in 1ac and 9ac straight away. But it went slowly from then on. I was pleased to get 12ac and parse it and 11d. But I am stuck on a number including 3d , 20ac and 13d. I have no idea what 1d might be.

For 3d I have S?A?T??????? I didn't find the clue above very helpful.
For 20ac I have ??????I???R?

I think I have just parsed 1d thanks to Chris saying the abbreviation is two letters.

A hint for 13d would also help. I only have the last letter.

I've spent much of the day writing quiz questions for our U3A zoom quiz. I still have to look up the chemical formula for alcohol. I used to know it a long time ago. Perhaps Chris can help me.
