"enthralled by" I meant:-)

Chrise, I don't think the British word in the clue of 14 is slang, more archaic. OED has uses from 16th century and says "The pap or udder of female mammalia; also the teat or nipple; usually in reference to suckling. As applied to a woman's breast, now contemptuous" (hoping that isn't giving too much away). It's vaguely familiar to me, possibly from Shakespeare or similar!

Enjoyed this. Agree 2d doesn't work.

Also can't parse 15d. Have the deffo obviously, but can't see the wordplay?

2d, "is it?" A forward referencing open question as opposed to a definitive statement "that is to say"

15d. Butter defines the first four letters. The whole is defined by the whole description.

Stil dont understand, sorry minno. I had that butter could be the first 4 letters, but how does 'working on the' or 'mountain' then fit with that?

Hi SH,

I wonder if you're thinking that the answer is a large group of "butters" on a "mountain" - it's actually the name of the "loney chap..." who looks after them, with the whole clue alluding to a very famous but old musical film that featured a song about him, hence "of note".

Sorry if I've misunderstood what you are asking:-0

We're in danger of the earworm coming back here. Think of something else quick.

.... a white bear 😂

Enjoying some clues …… not sure if they have been in previous posts sorry but the parsing of many I cant get …no idea how 5d or 23a work even though I have answers that fit ???

Tony, for 5d, definition is first three words. Think Irish Sea. Last six letters are in Chambers as a big hit.

For 23a, think of Limerick man’s as belonging to a writer of nonsense verse, contained by two (Roman numerals). From Jerusalem is the definition
