I saw that Cockie. I'm in the same situation as you and nothing I read there helped at all!

Parsing of 37a is a bit of a mystery to me though.

More grid staring coming up....

(sorry, sunray - I gave 23a instead of 28) 28 - a straight clue - 2 letters for the exclamation 'Lord!' + n + a (the imitator is feathered).

37 - 3 letters for 'bushman' + abbrev for 'out' = stun.

...there's an extra word in 37.

Thanks drxx. Got most of them. Still working on 23d,
There is a word for cucumber that starts with G.

I've found the two figures, dose anyone know if they are included in the 47 cells of 'thematic material'? From the preamble, it would appear not.

ps - the material the anagrind refers to has 13 letters.

It's the archaic sp of your 'g' word, sunray.

Thanks Drxx. The use of 'out' not just being 'o' threw me. Now I'm puzzled as I don't need any more letters and the clue reads rather oddly without the obvious one to remove. Maybe it's just a bit clunky?

You're right, planks - they're additional to the 47.
