I agree with everyone about the bizarre clueing. It’s really not as pleasurable anymore.
But I can’t leave it unfinished! Just can’t!
Please help.

Stuck on:
1d. Roughly around one, easiest for me
a? i?e ? ?
13a. Most of haggis cooked as dinner, English put out
??n???s
7d. Blasphemous in its origin, Brit’s exclamation of surprise
??i?e?

Brendan, I feel you have been on Everyman duty all day! From some of the clues I've seen, this is another non-vintage puzzle.

Hi Malone, I was curious to see what others made of it. One might think that, due to large number of people who seem dissatisfied, there is a good chance that many will complain to the crossword editor. But I read somewhere, I think it was in a book called The Drunkards walk, that the greater number of people who witness an incident, say a crime, the lower the chance it will be reported - something to do with everyone assuming everybody else will do it. I don't know if this is similar but, if so, I might try and contact the editor myself.
