the only (5,5)'s that I can find are THREE DOZEN and SEVEN DOZEN which don't fit the latter part of the clue

DOCTOR'S ORDERS (number 9) does however I can't see how to end up with a (5,5) answer from that

[Tilly2]

order, order.

[bibblebub]

^ ah, yes. I got stuck in a thought rut.

Good thinking, Tilly- the house could be House of Commons. Does it explain the prescription though?

[Tilly2]

It was your doctor's orders that made me think, bibble.

[Tilly2]

As a prescription is an instruction, I think it fits, factor.

Don't think I am up to this Saga crossword, quite funny that this one for oldies is so tricky, only find the Spectator Xmas one worse! Even if I get a clue I am not sure why!! Thanks to you all, will attempt to finish it now.

I think there have been some times in the last three months or so where Cullen verges on the unfair. Too many where you have to guess the answer and then work back to understand the clue. The attlee one is particularly poor. He's a bit too pleased with his own knowledge too
