Is the lack of symmetry in top and bottom row worrying anyone else but me?….or am I missing something?

No problem there because there are no bars in the top and bottom rows.

essira, the top and bottom rows are just as symmetric as the third clued across entry (one word) is relative to the three-word entry for 15th across clue. The bar pattern is symmetric, not the individual word lengths.

Can I get a hint for "Plot to get young..." - cannot make anything of this clue.

Plot as in something in garden

The young woman is a society girl in reverse

Cheers, grid solved now.

My only question now is whether the unclued answers are totally barred off; each intersecting answer comprises two "words" but presumably it would be wrong to put bars within an answer.

Thanks buzz, I hadn't thought of the phrase as a single entry. Guess after the last few weeks I am always looking for trouble!

candlestick, I'd say no bars for those 2-word entries as otherwise there should be bars in the 3-word across entry if one is to be consistent and there aren't bars for 2-word entries in any other puzzle that I can recall.

Is the answer to "In single combat man is lost in bush", "MANOAO"?

If so, why?

And could someone put me out of my misery and just tell me what the German phrase is? I don't speak the language, and can't really see how to guess it.

Thanks.
