Good evening,

I have solved a few in the NW corner of this puzzle but funnily enough, I am stuck.

Could I please ask for hints?

9a - Dog to get soaked with energy plunging into Thames? (9)

I’m guessing “energy” might be E, but that is as far as I go.

11a - Show disdain for old Tory PM being moved aside? (7)

9 The Thames is an example of...? Put your E in that. The first 3 letters are an obscure term for "soaked" that I've only learned from crosswords, but it's an easy guess.

11 "moved aside" is the definition. The Tory PM was from the 70s, and it's his abbreviated first name!!

Sorry I meant NE.

Thank you.

I might go back to doing sudokus!

11 Show disdain ( ignore, say)gives the first four letters and the last three give the forename, familiar name, of an old Tory PM. (It's a bit like M Thatcher being known as Maggie.). The answer means being moved aside....

Ty

Thanks, druh6sm. Sorry I was so late - I had to redo my post, the first one was rather garbled! Glad you were helped anyway.
