Many thanks to you all. Just one more, then I'm finished !!
21ac - old piece of arachnid (4) - ?I?E
Mite ?
s PIDE r
Brilliant
I thought of PIDE from Spider but couldn't see the definition (flatbread isn't it?)
Pied is a piece of Turkish bread, but...
Does pide mean old?
Have you a dictionary definition please, not in Chambers
I knew 'Mite' was wrong, though it was a coin.
Only this. We'd say, a jam piece or a buttered piece. So I looked for something in spider. Don't see the relevance of old in the clue

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pide
I was just asking if it could mean old because otherwise I can't see where the word 'old' fits into the clue.
The only meaning I know is Turkish flat bread. I checked the urban dictionary (I wouldn't advise it) but that didn't help.
Is that the exact clue, HenHen, or just a shortened version?
That is the clue FF - Sandy's answer works on a couple of levels, so am happy enough.

See the man (setter) is still dividing us days after his death.

Exact clue. I think Mite is the answer as a Google search shows it was an old coin 2K years ago, and it fits with arachnid too. Any other thoughts?
That is what I thought but am now a bit swayed by Sandy's answer, although Scots in reference, hmm.
