4 A .Bone china pots are not available on Sabbath (8)
- R - N A - A -
Looks like PRENASAL but I can't see why.

That makes 4d PRATE and I can't see why. Gossip helping to include a change of direction (5) - R A - E

4a. China (friend) = pal
pots surround indicator
['re (are) + n.a. (not available) + S (Sabbath)]

4d. Helping = plate, L => R.

Thanks Ginge
