Next one....#43, 22A....Drink completely hidden inside vault....Ans: Cupola.

Parse please.

Cupola, vault.
Cola, drink
Up, completely (in Chambers)
Hidden inside = put Up, completely, inside Cola, drink.

Tnx Malone,

I knew cupola and vault. I sh have seen cola, but i did not know up and completly.

Up for completely is a bit unusual. But if you think of “used up” or “filled up” it makes sense

Colmm, glad I could help. Do you have a copy of Chambers?

Hi Malone,

No, I do not. I have Google !!

Thanks, Colmm.That's fine, but I'll maybe add a bit more information instead of just saying 'in Chambers' or 'confirmed in Chambers'.

Hi Malone,

I forgot to mention that I also use Hamlyn's Pocket Crossword Dictionary, first published in 1988.

My edition is from 2001 and has been a superb source of answers for me for more than 25 years!

Next query....#45, 2D....Charge aimlessly with expedition, Ans: Rapidly.

Please parse. Is charge = raid?

Charge is rap, as in rap sheet. The rest should then be apparent
