A hint for 7 ac `Try to be useful here` (10) would help!

Hi mags
I guessed that straight away, then had the panicky "Does it fit" moment, as I wrote it in. The solution is one example of lots of places where a try would be useful.
Sorry to hear of your woes. Our ancient cat has also taken to peeing in unwanted places, though she isn't allowed in bedrooms.

Hi all
Finally finished this "stinker". I was stuck for far too long on 23a which I'm still not sure of my answer . Is it a Papal edict ? Where does the 50 Point feature?
Sorry to hear of your troubles Mags.

Hi everyone. Really enjoyed this one. Especially 17d and 23a. Took a long time to decide on 9a but got there in the end.
