Where is everyone today? have you all managed to finish already? I'm struggling a bit.
Grateful for any help with the following:-

15d (6) 'See and all but see reels'.

1d (6) '15 SA grads'. I think it might be
s-m-a-

21a (5) 'Vulgar revolutionary American plan'. Think the middle letter is 'e'.

Thanks.

Thnaks to you both - I had just managed to work out 'cheap' and then got 'dances'. Honestly.
The only two I'm still unsure of now are 5d (4) 'Red fishing line'. I've got t-o- and am thinking 'trow' which seems to have something to do with a fishing vessel, and then has tow(line) plus 'r'. What do you think?
And, 11a (4) 'Joy's skelly'. -l-e. I've got 'glee' but don't know of any connection between that and skelly.

Thanks again.

Sorry - 'catcher' for 4a.

'Can can' for 4d and 'chafing' for 22a.

I think!

skelly means gley which is a variant of glee (if you look up skelly you'll see this) suggesting squinted.

thanks for all the help - getting there
