drax @7 and @8: are you saying that the vertical chap is, or is not, in col 1? I can't find anything useful there at all.

Cookie, I think drxx is referring to Buddy's post @6. Look at the answer to the clue referenced there.

sorry, cookie - I missed your question.
Thanks for clearing things up, alwayspuzzled.

I'm still none the wiser. Mr Google yields nothing helpful if I enter any plausible collection of letters in 8D.

Hi Cockie, it's a straightforward letter run forming 2/3 of the entry at 8 down.

Oh blimey! Thanks. With luck I might sleep tonight.

13d Undermines daily politician broadcasts (7)

I have an answer where the 2nd and 3rd letters come from "politician" and 4 - 7 from "broadcasts", but can't see how first letter comes from "daily" - where have I gone wrong?

Brendan, where does the Saturday crossword I recommended appear?...

Also,....

5d Slow-moving group's term for Reigate train after commuting (6)

I have an answer of a "slow moving group" but can't see how it's parsed.

Ahh, of course, I'd convinced myself it was another abbreviation I didn't know!

Many thanks Malone.
