[bhg481]

Yes, and it's the right number of letters.

[Neveracrossword]

Yes, I see it now - In Term Edi(a)tor - very clever!

[Daij]

Apologies - spotted a mistake

First letter, first word of 18 is 'H'
First letter of 20' is 'R'

[Neveracrossword]

11 Chargrill? Charg(e), prime (verb), cut/last letter removed and Rill, stream, some water?

[Neveracrossword]

.. and Chargrill is 'cook'.

[Daij]

Great stuff neveracrossword!

[Daij]

Thanks very much for your help

20 Relax, loose? Bradfords crossword dictionary gives Rex under 'rabbit' and with the La, French 'the' inside (fed by) you get Re la x.
