Thanks Simong
buggins turn comes up quite readily in Google >wiktionary as a right to a turn in order of duration of service (or waiting) I had thought of gins for traps but could not get that to fit anywhere Many thanks for your help.
Have just discovered this forum...we usually love Auracaria but this one is very difficult. Struggling with 25 across, any ideas anybody? Not an answer just a hint would be much appreciated!
I have to say this has been a real bugger... I've finished it but would appreciate confirmation of 6a "Sticker, say, in reverse (5)" which I think is WEDGE based on WED as the unclued abbreviation and GE being e.g. in reverse. What I don't understand is WEDGE=sticker so would appreciate some help on this...
