Oh thank you, Chips. I was looking for a proper word. I gave up looking at those kinds of ads ages and ages ago!

Thanks again AJT

Still can't get 2d but thanks for 15d - he certainly was polite!

Graham - let's try again with 2d. I may have misled you unintentionally when I said that the wordplay had no significance - the first word word is the french word for chicken. It was the mutton stew that I meant. I said

Thanks AJT I've now got it much to my wife's relief!
All that scrabbling through her cookery books!

Hi AJT. I haven't got 7a nor 7d - I'd appreciate solutions and wordplay please

Hello MH. 7ac is ACPU = auxiliary computer power unit (Chambers). C is gicen as an abbreviation of colt (also CH), and I suppose "pulled" up.

Afro because it's the only word that fits - and Malian. Wordplay I'm afraid I don't know. I should say ata aguess that more than 50% of the wordplay here, and any others by Paul McKenna, I don't get.

Thanks AJT. Is it important that a,c,p and u are the 'initial' letters of the first 4 words of the clue?

I have one left, is 19ac oddman? Or have I got something wrong?

Oddman's correct religious specialist is DD (Doctor of Divinity) sultanate is 'oman'. Oddman means arbiter

Sorry MH - I've been away from the PC. Yes, that's how it's given in Chambers, anyway.
