I think ER is Edward Rex.

Thanks jono, Brendan, ChrisE. It's a bit of a obtuse clue, but I get it now.

7d. Borrow,say, from one who may have some cheques
TRAVELLER
Parse?

There was ( a long time ago!) a famous traveller (and writer and linguist, I think) called George Borrow. It's obviously far too old a clue for the present day - I don't think travellers cheques even exist now!

Yes, you're right... George Borrow. And yes I think nobody uses traveller's cheques any more.

Thanks, Whetstone- one of those clues that hasn't worn well!

i have a copy of "wild wales" somewhere!

14d. Fly in waste container
BLUEBOTTLE
Parse?
So does 'waste' means BLUE?

Chambers: ‘blue’ (verb) to squander

Cheers Jono....never heard of that before.

New word I learned today GONGOOZLE....to enjoy watching canal/canalside activity!
