Ari: I think 5 is press jargon & therefore possibly not known to everybody.

Among the clumsy American people.

Never wear the shoe if it doesn't fit, as we say!

We're more succinct; we just say "If the shoe fits."

Got 1 & 5 but totally clueless with the rest - time for a cup of tea.

I'm guessing from the comments that I must have no2 wrong..... ah well! Can't see anything else at present.

And just spotted #4.

1. BIRD OF PASSAGE anag forbid+pass+age
2. STUMBLEBUMS first, second, and third of British builders came in stumbles
3. SAVANTES ant in saves
4. TUTEE tips of...
5. STAFFER anag trade-offs minus do

My attempt this week as follows:

1) bird of passage

2) participles (but a little doubtful about it especially the American people bit)

3) savantes

4) tutee

5) staffer

Ashamed I have only two:

4.tutee
5. staffer

But thanks for giving my brain a workout. J
