I shall have to add ‘butter’ to my list of agent nouns

Definitely Jono, it crops up frequently.

Yay, finished now!
FOI was 24d, LOI was 4d. So many good ones this week, it's hard to pick a favourite. Maybe 19d or 13d. Also 16d, which was a new word for me.
Enjoy your weekends everyone :-)

Thanks Abicoop, you too:-)

This one’s proving to be an uphill struggle for me. Some clever and entertaining clues from what I have so far. Thanks for hints above. Never seen this use of “butter” before - useful to know.

Looking for help with 4d, 6d, 20a please to make further inroads.

Hi FemmeNoire,

4d - 3 letter "perform" surrounded by/"wearing" a 4 letter old word for "hat".

6d - 5 letter word for "shows impatience" around a 5 letter "tramp" (as a verb) - definition is what you do when you "don't know the score".

20a - 2 letter "street" followed by 6 letter "caused irritation" - definition is "what sewer did".

Yes! Short form where a number is mentioned twice.

Hi Docrum

If you're referring to 21d I'm at a loss as to why it caused me so much difficulty! I kept trying to add or "double" the answer when all I had to do was, as you say, mention it twice!

very hard. foi, reading clues in order, 22d!
loi 2d - doh"

Thanks! New word for me for an old hat
