Substitute L for R

Changing sides means substituting r for l ... or vice versa

Got it! Thanks to all for patience over my stupidity.

Excuse me tagging on to this thread. I have seven of the eight and think the last is involved with 20d Laurie? Child looked after and sheltered (7) l?E?A?? or possibly 27a Furious females making chaps at Brussels face day of reckoning (9) E?M?N???S. Help with both much appreciated.

20d Laurie? _ Author (3)
Child looked after (by a guardian) (4)

The whole means sheltered.

27
Europe etc (abb)(2) + chaps (3) = day of reckoning (Ancient Rome) (4)


Furious females ( Mythology)

Neither of those are themed answers.

27 Europe etc (abb)(2) + chaps (3) + day of reckoning (Ancient Rome) (4)

Thanks mamya. I'll have to figure out who is No 8!

I thought "day of reckoning" was a bit loose - it only applied in retrospect; it had a much more mundane meaning.
