Afternoon All,
6a Nick Nolte's first to get in drink (4)
I have * N * P . It all seems too vague for me.
14d Where you might see the flowers swing to and fro close to Epping Forest (4, 6).
I have * O * K / GARDEN. Could be rock... but again, I don't get it at all!

Any help and/or explanation would be greatly appreciated.
THANKS IN ADVANCE, Chris.

Chris I copied this from answerbank not my own work but explains it.

bibblebub swinging to and fro = ROCK
close to eppinG = G
forest = ARDEN

Thanks Andy!
For the info, and the perseverance! What a convoluted clue!
6A could be SNIP (ie, N introduced into SIP.... Nolte's first letter into drink etc etc) but what exactly is the clue asking? (Beats me!)
Regards, Chris.

I think you are right. The only thing I can think of is when people refer to something as "it was a snip" it implies that they were the first there or got a bargain. Sorry it's still a bit woolly though.

Thanks again!
Chris.

The answer is SNIP. The misdirection is Nick Nolte because the definition is Nick obtained by taking the first of Nolte and put it in SIP a word meaning drink.
