Thanks, Maggieriordan.
56 Egg On Toast
58 Tailors, they make cuts - anagram of To rail and S(ervice)
60 Mailshot , spam material - and sounds like Male's Hot, bloke's spicy.
48 Foolishness, folly - anagram.

PS Private Eye often has loads of anagrams, I'm sure you'd have got some of these if you'd spotted that!

Maggieriordan, I really don't mind helping, but I think you've had so many answers now that it must help with the others on your list? I'm sure all of these answers must give you heaps more letters.

I’m very grateful for your help, I still have many gaps but I will continue to try to get to grips with these cryptic crosswords though I may need to ask for pointers if that’s okay?

Thanks, Maggieriordan. I'm sure some of the clues will be much easier once you slot in letters from all those answers. You will be much more capable than you think! And asking for pointers is good, maybe more useful for you( in the long run) than getting answer after answer.

Anagram of "a derogatory" with p and n, i.e. "heartless" politician meaning only the first and last letters are part of the anagram. Phrase meaning "ignore".

Maggieriordan - I assume together with the eight (so far) answers you've requested on The Answer Bank, you must be very close to finishing this crossword?
