Hi AJT1. I've worked backwards from my 22D letters (which I believe to be correct) and delved into my French dictionary to no avail. I've spent hours on this clue! A hint please!

For Geirfa: To answer the clue you have the french personal pronoun, and "leaves" - a leaf can be a folio - f.
The word that is entered in the grid is the mate in this pairing.

....and, if it helps, the phrase is also a cockney rhyming slang coupling for someone who, like me, is hard of hearing.

Now you must have it.

Help, please, only 22ac to go. Have m?r?i?t which seems ok but no idea what the missing letters are. (Back number is retained by left wingers). A clue would be good. Tx

If I am right shuffleplayer the number to reverse in the clue is nine - the whole a political pairing

Can you give any clues to my last two?:
4a Drive car out of city
8d Sunday Times likes bizarre clothes

Clues so far have not helped!

Thanks

8d Sunday Times likes bizarre clothes

Bizarre is an anagrind
Clothes is a "goes round" indicator

Thank you Ixion - I now finally understand the "cow city" clue and have got it - even remembering that it is 10a!
