I was surprised not to find anything on this one already on the forum, am struggling mightily !

eg
5a Stretch of river covering basins of salt (7)

9a Appear cheated in hearing, so stopped and returned

22d FAce accepting concessions in return for sale (8)

Thanks, folks !

Have you any placed letters?

22d DI SPOS AL dial with sops reversed

No, or I would have said so.

5a defn stretch, four letter word for basins inside a three letter Devon river

9 Fielded, stopped and returned. Sounds like (in hearing) Feel Did, appear cheated.

Thanks everyone . . . not enjoying this one . . . it is boring, isn't it ?

Dandhh, glad we could help. Now that I've done today's puzzle, that one seems a long time ago!

Last Word in this week's New Scientist quotes from an old Yellow Pages:
Boring: see Civil Engineers

Yeah, right !

When I had the answers I could not see where he / she was going . . . new compiler maybe . . .
