Have finished this one except can't get 19D "Even called pear tree". I have -L-E-
Any ideas please? Thanks

hi phil
It is alder (even letters )

Thanks Jazzgirl - of course! I should have thought of that. I considered SLEEK (smooth or even), but couldn't see how it fitted with pear tree!

I was 'even' looking for another word for pear tree at first, until the penny dropped!

Hello Wee Jock
Have brought the other RT thread to the top as you seem to have missed it.
The answer to 3d, apart from being 'illegal' is also a style of trousers which are wider at the ankle.
