Hi there,

Am stuck on a fair few today, so grateful for any help.

22a (8) 'One surprised comment, with insects eating American sweetmeat.' ?I???I?E

18a (6) 'Stock of money reduced by half after doctor's bill'. ?O???T

16d (8) 'Receipts exhausted, say, leading to transfer of business'. T?????E?

10a (6) 'Twitter conflict ran short'. ?A???E

2d (6) .The workers neglecting one European city'. ?????S

Finally, 7a (4) 'Quantity of water about to be expressed in respiration'. ?A??

I know it's a lot - I just can't seem to focus, so thanks again for any help.

I had been thinking of 'warble' too, but then Athens can't be right, as it would then be ???B?S

Thanks for all your help so far. I'm thinking of 'takeover' for 16d which just leaves 18a. I've now got ?O?K?T and am thinking 'docket' 'pocket'... Any suggestions to fit in with the clue 'Stock of money reduced by half after doctor's bill'.

thanks
