hi Mags 14d - I also don't see the connection to football, but it's a support. 13d is a tree which bears fruit. 15ac is a double definition.

Thank you, friends. I worked out 13d too, just
checked it`s right on Google. I can see the fluid and the tree but not the herb !
Maybe the first 4 letters of 14d refer to the famous old footballer?
Mags.

The herb is Dill

The herb was a dog in "The herbs" (when Parsley was a lion)
13d is the triangular metal bit that supports the net at the sides of the goal.

thanks for the football connection chris

Of course ! I use it on salmon all the time! It was the `a` on the end that was my undoing....
All done now. Mags.

Stuck on last two, 12a (the dragon one) & 6d
(nips etc): any hope of a couple of hints at this late hour? I'm NOT familiar with British TV series!

Ok, I've got the dragon now (never heard of her here in France, of course); how about "Nips outside, nip off for mystery series" 4,5 I have ?C?N ?E?K? Any useful tips going for an ex-pat?

Guess I've got the title of the mystery series now (my "c" was wrong)- though I don't follow the "nips" bits..............ah, I see it all now! Obviously too late to ask questions when you've all finished.Time for a celebratory drink!

Bonjour GK. nip inside nips if you see what I mean. I am a lark, not a nightowl. J
