Thanks ixion -
4D assumed that was the case but still can't any reference to that word meaning delivered.
12A doh - was thinking fish plural
but
5A I replaced B by H, but don't see how B is an abbreviation for soft

4 Try to find a synonym to fit here, then make the tense past.

" Who will deliver me of this evil..."


I hope I've sussed the clue right - sorry to waffle on.

Thanks again mamya.
I'm going to assume that H/B in 5A is a pencil thing and move on.

I have only started this today and am completely at a loss.
A prod in the right direction for 23 and 25 would be so welcome!
1a, 27a, 13d and 22d (only penciled in!) all seem to be varieties of something - or am I completely barking up the wrong tree?

You are barking up the right tree :)

For 23/25 think rhyming slang.

Nikki - I've just started too (today) and the only corner finished is the SE one. Apart from 15 which jumped off the page.

I assume 1a is a straighforward anagram?
