1A Say Ru' (4) G?E?

looks like an anagram of eg and ur but GREU and GUER don't seem to be right

3A PM on TV: check after 1 (8) ?R?U?A?T

so this looks like URQUHART (Prime Minister) and 1 is given above

Hi, John

I think 1A is GREY (Greek 'u', upsilon, can also be 'Y', and Glen Urquhart plaid is a grey check).

Of course, I could be over-thinking it and talking nonsense!

Much appreciated

Ok Skyewalker

I have one last one you might also help me with please.
