Thanks Syzzie.
It looks impossible, as last months. Will attempt, though.

A hairy one, but very enjoyable (finished last night). Would've helped if I hadn't misread the first word as "The" instead of "Ten" for hours!

Rosalind: start by guessing the 5-word one when you've got enough crossers -- the rest is then relatively easy!

Thank you GK. I think i have guessed the phrase because of a hint someone else gave me.

In German they say "It seems Spanish to me" (another example of racism in language)!

Bumping, this is such a clever crossword

Finished now, thanks for the help. I think 7dn/21 ac are amazing.

Interesting cultural differences- I would say 21 ac was a rare word, never heard of 18ac before and one word on there is very rude where I come from! (Liverpool/Birkenhead)

Congratulations, Rosalind! It was something very different, wasn't it?!
Which is so rude in your area? You must tell me, or I might embarrass myself when I'm there one day! Last time was about 50 yrs ago. Can't see anything remotely offensive amongst my answers --- or have we got different ones???!!!

It's the first word of one of the down clues GK.
If you mail me via Les, I'll explain and what I meant on Clue chain last Monday!

Yes, really enjoy the Harper Crosswords though I do usually need some help from the great folks on here.
