Good morning friends. Lovely day today. I suppose not many will be indoors. Here are today's clues. Hope they are fairly straightforward. J

I set clues just for pleasure. I wonder if some of you excellent regulars would like to try a few? Since they're new, no letters!

Please withhold solutions till 5 pm (GMT + 1) to allow others to have a go.


1. Treat rogue policeman as an ill-natured person (8)

2. Make the other side text for our entertainment (10)

3. Male publicist embracing a sharp point is impregnable (10)

4. More long-winded version of girly chain letter lacks clarity (9)

5. North American colonist’s against rising to royalty (5)

Whoops! Forgot to cancel the italics.

Morning jolan - thanks.

I can see #4 at first read. I may not be able to do much more - garden calls!

'Morning Chris. Yep! Me too.

Good morning jolan I've got #s 2 & 4 and, probably optimistically, hoping to solve the others before Royal Ascot gets underway. Cheers again.

Got #1 - hadn't come across that meaning, being more familiar with the other from a well-known book.

Love #1, I'm grinning inanely!

........got #2 (of course!)

Hi ginge. I'm just taking a wee peek in from time to time. Nice to see you. You and Chris are 'motoring'. Not long now for a full set :).

I have #4 and that may be all :(
Gardening to be done now.....
