Bore in the sense of “put up with”, “withstood”

mattrom your reply is better!

Ianwil, I think 18d works if 'with' is just a link word. "Arrived", in the sense of "winter has arrived"

Sealionsteve,

10d - it's a humorous cryptic type clue, as in if one works hard one might get a (blue) "plaque" by way of recognition, but if you're a 10d you'll also come across some plaque.

At least that's how I read it.

Re 6d, I think Mattrom and I are basically saying the same thing, hence my mention of children and her mention of birth.

Thank you Brendan and Mattrom, 6d is rather good now you've explained it. I think 10d is a bit weak though - it's usually an assistant to the 10d that does that - or at least it used to be in days when this part of the UK still had that particular service available!

Thanks matrom @13. That makes sense.

Stuck on 25 across it seems to be- shoots the ?o?e?e. Seems it should be horse but that does not fit, nothing seems to fit.

Hi Thomas,

25a -The O in the final word is wrong.

Your “O” is wrong. It’s probably more of an Americanism.

Thomas, have you accidentally transposed a couple of letters from 20d?
