Good morning! Hope these will provide a wee bit of entertainment. Have fun!

I set crossies just for pleasure. I wonder if some of you excellent regulars would like to try a few of my clues? Since they're new, no letters!

Please withhold solutions till 5 pm (GMT+1) to allow others to have a go.

1. Moving us out reassures removers (7)
2. Mechanical aids to calculating standards governing chutes? (5,5)
3. Generally decadal? (5)
4. Personal wounds rarely acquired by drivers (5,2,3)
5. Nonsense! I reject your offering (4,4,2,4)

Hi Jolan

Another nice set of clues; not as difficult as last week's I thought.

Hope to be back just after 5 all being well.
Regards.

Hi there Tony! Nice to hear from you.
I made them a little easier this week as I noticed some new-to-cryptic solvers are having a go. See you after 5

You really have made them easier this week Jolan. Even I got the first two. It will be the only two, but it's the best I've ever managed. Cheers.

My solutions to the 5 clues-

1) ERASERS - Removers..Anag(moving)REASSURES less (out)US

2) SLIDE RULES - Mechanical aids to calculating...SLIDES (chutes)RULES (standards)
Possibly either slides or rules should be singular.

3) TENOR - General ..Sounds like! Tenner (Decadal - Ten)

4) HOLES IN ONE - Rarely acquired by drivers
( Golf) ...HOLES ( wounds)IN ONE (personal)

5) DON'T GIVE ME THAT! - &lit - nonsense & I reject your offering
