As usual, my struggle is not with the answer but with the why?
20a A bachelor caught by sheep with beverage holder (3,3)
T?A ?A?

I am assuming the beverage is tea and the holder is bag but the whole does not make sense to me - or perhaps I am just wrong? (Has been known)

TEG is a northern name for a sheep, so A BA in TEG to give the beverage holder (though it's not a beverage until water has been added!)

Thanks Chris E!
As a Mancunian, I suspect I should have known that!

I was going to say that it's probably more Yorkshire, but surprisingly AI tells me it's southern and eastern (if you believe it). It's basically much the same as hogget.
