Two left - I have an idea for each of them but I can't get my ideas to fit the clues so I conclude that I must be barking up the wrong tree.

4 Down Reject vote against impudent types of a primitive culture (8)
I have S-R-P-A-

25 Across Flower for a fictional housekeeper (6)
I have -E-S-N

25 hudson ?

4d) Strepyan

Hudson (river) butler from Upstairs Downstairs

You're right and I'm stupid - I put an E instead of a U in the crossing answer! I will have to go to the naughty step.

Thank you very much.

I was thinking 221b Baker St :)

oh yes bigbadmarty. Can I join brackendale on the naughty step

Thanks for "Strepyan", andyc. I was barking up the wrong tree - I kept thinking "reject" was SCRAP. It never crossed my mind that it referred to backwards.

As for Hudson, I am sure it is right whether it is Upstairs Downstairs or 221b Baker Street so thanks to bigbadmarty2 and jazzgirl.

You are welcome to join me on the naughty step, jazzgirl, as long as you share your chocolate and sweets. Sounds like bigbadmarty2 should join us with a name like that!

Oh thank you. I will share my chocs and you can even have my last Rolo.

There's no answer to that except to say I am overwhelmed - it's ages since I had a Rolo
