Spectator 2610

[FleshpotsOfDevon]

Spectator time again!

A couple to do -

“Local hawker having time with loudmouth” (7) ??A??ER (I’m thinking BOASTER)

“Spoke of Cardinal’s fabric” (7) ?O??S??

TIA.

[FleshpotsOfDevon]

Think of your relative from Holland….

[FleshpotsOfDevon]

Oh and by the way, that’s a 2-part phrase so one of the words is in a different unclued light.

[SnrMoments]

Got it! Thank you so much. That had really stumped me :D

[FleshpotsOfDevon]

My pleasure! This week’s puzzle has generated a lot of questions about the unclued words so you’re not alone :)

Any thoughts on 8d?
Dacc..r..?

[jazzgirl]

D'accord ?

[jazzgirl]

You are indicating 9 letters, but I have only seven

[Georgecoventgard]

Thanks Jazzgirl
My sloppiness
Dacc?r?
But no reference to ignoring apostrophes...which is why I wasn't sure

[jazzgirl]

I noticed that too, but couldn't find anything else to fit :)

[Georgecoventgard]

Yes, agreed. I'm going with it - enough time spent!

[PiffPoff]

Stuck on final unclued at 15D ?UTC?. To fit the theme, I can't come up with a word.

PiffPoff, that one goes with, goes before 26 D... and there's a big hint earlier in this thread.

[PiffPoff]

[Penny drops]. Thanks!

[Neveracrossword]

PiffPoff, glad my little nudge was enough.
