hi crypto,
Yes its a river in cheshire and scotland. And for any old rockers out there - its also the name of a pretty little instrumental from Ozzy's "Blizzard of Ozz" album.

Hi DG G - there's a river by that name in Wales as well.

I think it is the most popular river for crossword compilers

Did sombody call me?

Hi all,
Torvic re 22a "slap" is a slang word for make up (cosmetics),as is the answer.

Hi All, as usual I'm late, but our postie doesn't arrive until 2.30 - that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. Fell asleep half way though it and woke up galvanised! BUT still stumped on
14d
---s-e-e-
15a - and I know which river, but still not sure of my answer
-e---e-

Any assistance, please???

As Caravaggio says, lots of the clues where blindingly obvious but the above still have me blinkered!

Hi Chris

Re 15a think of what you do when you put a cross on something (thinking of the right 'something' is the key)

Re 14d Regular poster on this forum round the 'trained bees'.

It might be simple to you lot, it'll keep me busy (as in bees) for hours yet.

Cheers, Crypto, re 15a I'd got the river but was thinking more of a person's name Desiree!!! But, as a lapsed Catholic, was thinking of the wrong type of cross!!!!
Now to work on 14d

Karen, I knew that slap was slang for make-up and that the second half of the answer is also slang. I still think it's the worst clue I've seen in RT. I also think that the answer is normally two words.
