Review

Thanks zozozo

I thought of review after posting, though still can't fully parse endive

Endive could be to put in a dive similar to encase is to put in a case?

21a Looks like rat arsed. Can this be possible?
Being this 1down 'ad too many(3_5)

1d is "Satre"

It's correct

Anagram of Sartre and ad

Def = too many

Thanks zozozo. I didn't think it was polite enough for a crossword answer!

ST or Viz ?
LOL

It goes to show that across all the tabloids that the compilers are taking to much cocaine.

Have'nt enjoyed an Xword in ages. They are all writing garbage.

Too all you compilers, An Xword should be challenging and FUN. Not laborious and droll like you make them now.

Can't remember the last time I completed the Mail without a dictionary and altjough I complete the Express daily as my little passtime. You Sir have no idea how to construct a decent cryptic clue.

Ennui has taken hold !!

May I also add, That this site and another that I won't mention.
Used to be vibrant with activity due to newcomers wanting to learn from the parse masters on here/ Where are they now ?
You've discouraged them from learning and trying cryptic crosswords for the want of trying to fox the parse masters.
The good people on here are HERE to aid and assist those wanting to learn. But when the basics are at such a high level, they fold. So well done for the encouragement !!

You seem a little unhappy, shooty ;o)
