5 down: Overwhelmed by hand written documents, I rush to get at least one letter out (8) M?S?P?L?

Answer is m {i) ss pell, I think. Where does the rush come in?

Any help welcome.

Also: 18 across: Settle down having rejected the premier spots (6)

I have ?n?a?p, so answewr is encampp, but cannot see the cryptic part. Cheers.

Again any help most welcome. Roger

5 Down I is overwhelmed by manuscripts MS'S gives MISS with rush = PELT gives MISSPELT = at least one letter out

18 Across The premier is PM ans spots is ACNE - reverse them all gives ENCAMP

Thanks for your excellent and speedy reply. Much appreciated. Roger

1a: To hang up's not the last resort: H-V-. Must be "have[n]". But why "to hang up". Mystified Martin.

To hang up to hover maybe without the r is hove, as Brighton and Hove?

Hove(r)

Thank you - I was on completely the wrong track....but arrived at the correct destination, nevertheless.

....or rather I didn't - I arrived at have, when it should have been Hove....
