Good morning folks. This week's offering should contain a few challenging clues. Hope they're acceptable and fun. Happy hunting! J

I set crossies just for pleasure. I wonder if some of you excellent regulars would like to try a few of my clues? Since they're new, no letters!

Please withhold solutions till 5 pm (GMT + 1) to allow others to have a go.

1. Frankfurter’s sure to be found in bundle of Australia’s flier? (4,3)
2. Depending on the particular circumstances, carried by the traveller? (2.3.4.3.2)
3. This pet is essential to revolutionary satrap or tsar (5)
4. Online cartoon character throws kitten among heathens (6,3,4,6)
5. Jitterbugs in Britain with dealer in cows (12)

1 Blue Jay?

2. As the case may be?

3. Strop?
This pet is essential to revolutionary satrap or tsar – Reversed in clue strop means "pet"(5)
4. Thomas the Tank Engine?
Online cartoon character throws kitten among heathens (6,3,4,6). Is “on line” and anagram of “kitten among heathens”
5. Scaremongers?
