Thank you!
Just one more to go… hints please for 22d- ‘holding power, what Thatcher wouldn’t do for a boost’

Letter count?

I’m guessing 5 letters.

Sounds like something we need for the lawn, at present

"You turn if you want to"...

Thought For The Day For Bauble: When You Submit Your Completed Grid To The EYE, They, Figurately Speaking,Put It In A Sack With All The Others And Someone Picks Out The Winner.So, Like All Similar Competitions, It's A Lottery.The National Lottery Has Odds Of Roughly Fourteen Million To One.The Eye,On The Other Hand, Is A Mere Fifteen Hundred To One.If There Are Twenty Six Copies A Year, And Every Winner Is A Different Person,You Could Go For Roughly Fifty Seven Years Without Winning.Have A Nice Day.

P.S. For Bauble: If Different People, Using Constantly Changing Criteria For Picking The Winner, Carry On Indefinitely,It Means That, In Theory,You Could NEVER Win!.

Arghhhh! So obvious in retrospect.
Thanks for the assistance (and sorry to others for forgetting to add the letter count)

Kurious, glad the Forum could help you, glad you'll include the letter count next time!
