Rusty, apologies for sending clues to interrupt your crossword-free day. It was the Cockneyness (?) of them that made me want to share. Like you, I hadn't known 'charger' = dish, so I was happy with that. 'Airless' was ... just OK.

Pigale, I hope you're not still struggling with these clues - they don't really deserve a lot of time and effort.

Malone, I must admit I had given up! Have barely started today's crossword, so that will be a bonus!

Hi, Rusty!
The Sunday opening times work on how big the shop premises are.
I have looked it up and a 'small' shop is one that measures up to and including 280 square metres.
I have no idea though why this should be the case.
You are spot -on with the answers to Malone's clues - and with your parsing!
You'll be an East-ender yet!
Mr R would be proud of you!
I had to check "dish" with Anne B, too!
I finished the Everyman!
I found it much harder this week - but must say that I preferred it; it had become too easy of late.
And I still have two to parse! so I can keep my brain ticking over for a while yet!
I have the cycling on the Red Button .......I only have half an eye on it, as I have been doing other things......
Great scenery.

Hello, Elle!
Yes, lovely countryside!
And the leafy lanes!
I have an eye on the ladies golf, too!
I was surprised at how big Regent's Park was?
That is good that Everyman is a bit tougher.

race has been stopped as the police in Dorking are finding it too difficult to control the huge crowds

Following the incident near West Byfleet when a rider required an air ambulance, a backlog of riders built up on the route.

In order to ensure all riders get to the finish line within the required 8.5 hours, a planned diversion route has been opened at Mile 44...to divert those riders through to Mile 70 (taking out Box Hill and rejoining the route before Leatherhead)

Goodness!
Just like the Pyrenees!

I've only been watching intermittently....been in the garden.....was the air ambulance required for the earlier amateur race? or this present professional one?
I hate cycling!
There are so many disasters!
I was only watching for the beautiful scenery!

I may have lost the plot as to which race had the air ambulance. I have live updates from "GetSurrey" and they did not make it clear. There was a crash at Hampton Court Bridge early this morning, but not serious.
