Last one I think. 48a Do they show ocean, and what's in it? Just about (7) A - L - S - S
Can only think of ATLASES, but I can't see why. Thanks.

I can only come up with atlases too. It fits in with the first part of the clue but not so much with the second part.

ocean = SEA
what's in it (i.e. the sea) = SALT

'just' means put that in the above (i.e. 'in it' from the clue) = seSALTa

'about' means reverse that = aTLASes

[baitress]

looks like an anagram of sea and salt.

[bibblebub]

(should add that 'in it' is being used twice - 'just' implies that it should be used again)

Thanks, Janbee. I agree, but even the first connection is a bit tenuous (should really be oceans).

Thanks everyone, quite a good clue then after all.
