Rather an odd one this week, I thought. A couple of brilliant clues (20a and 4d), but also some strange ones (22a and 4d - no mistake in including 4 in both categories).

i enjoyed it.
I wonder why you think 22a strange, Chris.
it looks straightforward to me, so hope it is correct

Hi jazzy
For me, "most" doesn't mean the same as "the most" - the clue is missing a "the".

I see, so we must have the same answer then :)

Point me in the right direction for 8a & 6d please..!
Otherwise, found it quite straightforward this week.!
:-) R

8a anagram tenses comes at the end

6 a word for "as a rule" or "generally", take a word for "everyone" out and replace with R(un)

Thanks Chrise...'As a rule'..of course..!
Still confused about 8a though.!
:-) R.

Hi Raymond
8a def. is
a complex or confused situation; a muddle

"mar"?

I think I have the answer to 5d. I can only think of two words that fit given the missing letters and of those two, only one makes sense but I cannot convert the clues into the word I think it is.

I can see a tree but not the clue as to why the order of letters is as it is and I am clearly missing something in "locks up most of".

Anyone help? Thanks
