Last one. 31a Camera settings needed to get affected dandies crossing street (6) I have ?st?ps and thought it must be Fops and St . Is there such a word as fstops ?.
An acronym maybe?

[Tenter]

Yes it is a camera setting

[bridgenut]

F stops

[kayakamina]

Thanks tenter. I have consulted Chambers but not listed . Can you elaborate please? K

[brainiac]

The clue shouldn't have (6), it should be (1-5) as the answer is F-stops. The F is for focal length.

[kayakamina]

Of course 1.5 not 6 .Thanks to you three. K

I've only just got to the bottom of your last answer:
Rumble Strip (Warning to motorists)
governs (RULES) journey (TRIP) crossing Manitoba(MB)
..... leads to RU(MB)LE S+TRIP

Is this how you saw the solution?
I'm posting it here because Endanger likes to work it out himself!

[kayakamina]

Yes Crofter. You don't often get Manitoba in the clues, it is normally boring old 'doctor of medicine'

I'm doubly impressed! I even missed GOVERNS = RULES on first reading! Well done again
