Very grateful for all help with these clues please.

15 Or so + (spoke)n

Orson

[Lie-in King]

15a Orson - 'or so' (roughly) + '(spoke)n' (rung, off)
30a North Utsire - anag 'tho return is'
37a Agnail (hangnail) - 'Ag' (silver) + 'nail' (pin)

[Neily]

Many thanks! Never heard of North Utsire.

[Lie-in King]

I only know it from the Shipping Borecast ;-)

The clue to 15a doesn't really need the 'so-called' - 'roughly spoken having rung off' would be enough, no?

[donny48]

It is there to start the answer directOR SO-called.

[goodgoalie]

Donny, if the ORSO is from 'directOR SO-called, then no need for 'roughly' !

[donny48]

Yes, I see your point, I thought orso as I mentioned and that the roughly referred to spoken being altered.
