5a Many columns are so openly regarded disregarded nonetheless. Answer has been given more than more as fluted but I just can't see the wordplay.
2d Old song retains appeal for non professionals. Answer must be laity =non professionals but again I just can't see the wordplay.

Thanks

5a remove the O, i.e. less the none, from FLOUTED

2d old song = LAY, (sex) appeal = IT => LAitY

[dr b]

old song = lay, (sex) appeal ="it"

[shaneystar2]

old song is a Lay ..it (appeal ) in sense that someone has "it"
