Hmm - AJT - hope you don't mind me pointing this out but it seems to me that there are two distinct possibilities for 7A which cannot be separated until you have 1D

Thanks Ixion - a few minutes ago I realised I perhaps had the wrong month for 1ac - you're absolutley right. I'd forgotten this month.

Any help please?

I thought this was a very tricky, contrived clue. Happy as?

A bishop is a R(ight) R(everend) so I reckon the answer is 'arrish' - 'arryish' must be to do with 'arry being a jovial cockney but not sure if it's rhyming slang or not.

I'm stuck on 25ac I???E? (M to go) & 21d A?R??? (Z to go) - any hints? Thanks.

I was working around there, but I've always heard "As happy as Larry," not Harry.

I accept RR, so "a RR I sh."

So are they actually saying that Arryish is defined as "Like a jovial Cockney, i.e., Harryish?"

I just accepted that the first letter was dropped. A dodgy clue, I think
