Without the clue, I can't help! It's always good to give the clue - then those without a copy can help (and those with a copy don't have to go off to track it down).

Bobdown, your query was asked earlier by someone else - and the answer's given on the other thread. Have a look at that one - it has the puzzle number and 'Duplicate thread' on it. (Norah, site administrator, doesn;t like duplicate threads and usually removes them - but it was too late, answers had been given on both).

52a. Tease our folk about money (5). SUGAR but why?

Rag = tease, Us = our people and Sugar is a slang word for money (confirmed in Chambers).
About = reverse, so Su gar.

There's no need to start a new thread, there is already one on this puzzle.

Obadiah Slope is a character in Trollope's novel Barchester Towers, thus written about

O BAD I A H

O BAD I A H

The definition refers to the Rev. Obadiah Slope of Barchester Towers by Trollope.

Ah! Thanks a lot. We could not find the ‘slope’!

Thank you, Malone. I will bear that in mind in future. And I did find the answer on the duplicate thread, and yes, duplication is annoying, but I was not too impressed with the clueing on that one I have to say.
