Totally agree. I often need help to persevere, and it is so satisfying on a sunny Saturday. The Romany caravans and ponies are here on their way to Appleby. Another distraction.

All going so well, then NOT.
Five across “fa?s?ya”.
28 down “o?pe?”
Any help for me ?
Thanks in advance.

Quisling @9, I have qoogled a 10 letter word together with a 6 letter surname as you suggest and nothing helpful comes up. What am I doing wrong?

Gitto. If you google Oxford Mail and the six letter additional name, you’ll find a couple of old articles. The second one should help.

Try the ten letter word and an anagram of the first six letters of the surname. The anagram is a common kitchen item.

Thanks both. The most elusive quote I have ever come across. I found two versions of it eventually - unfortunately it was the incorrect version I found first.

Very nicely done.thank you, Arcadia.

I’ve got the 20 letter geometrical shape but nothing else… stymied on the unclued individual by inability to get 30d, 27d and 32d…
Uncovered Swallows Racing course (4)
Conk out on brief stop (5)
Highland ouzel, concerned with avoiding falcon (4)

Any help appreciated! It’s very hot and my brain is half melted
Thanks

Have you got any letters for those Natty96? You might just need a little nudge!

In 30d “swallows” is a verb. For 32d check out meanings of “ouzel” in Chambers.
