I didn’t know that either! Chambers has both

Almost done! Stuck on my last one 18d. Any hints please?

Can only see one rhyming pair (JustSolve says there are two)

Oh, okay, just got 18.

I am trying to get CU and AG into the answer for 17a, but no luck.

18 not a great clue. def is "guide" (not a person). parses 3,4, though the 3 is a bit loose, and "high" isn't really accurate for th4.

actually, looking at my complaints, i may have got it wrong!

dru
different sort of copper

In 18 it is the last four letters that give the “flier”. The first three letters mean glib.
I think there is only one intentional rhyming pair, given the symmetrical positioning.

Relatively difficult Everyman this week, far tougher than last week. Thanks to the setter.
I thought there were unusually many double and cryptic definitions, several of which gave me some trouble.

I found this somewhat easier than last week. Fun, though I can't parse the "copper" from the final letter of 17.
Cheers all
