Two left which are unclear.

27A Cockney girl free to hug daily (7) R?C?A?D

The only word that fits is RICHARD, but I don't see the link to a Cockney girl.

The next one is a bit near the knuckle!

26D Kate for Will (5) S?R?W

I assume this is related to the author of Hamlet and should probably be SHREW, but interestingly the second letter could also be "C". I wonder if Myops realised what he was doing when he wrote that clue.

Richard = Dicky Bird = bird (slang for girl)

CHAR in RID

According to this site:

http://www.ruf.rice.edu/~kemmer/Words04/usage/slang_cockney.html

... the website I consulted said - Richard the Third= Bird!

Kate the shrew in "taming of the shrew"

.....thank heavens I'm pure ;0)
