14d phrase book

[veetprahas]

many thanks puzzled001!

is 'mess-tent' correct for 13a) 'campanolgist's temporary accommodation?'

[yogasun]

7d Passer by (Pass 'er) by ??

[Puzzled001]

bell-tent ,a campanologist is a bell-ringer

[veetprahas]

thanks again puzzled001 - of course 'a bell ringer'!!

so presumably 11d) is now 'BLOW ONES MIND' ?

[Puzzled001]

correct

[veetprahas]

thanks again for the confirmation

so is 'skidaddled' OK for 27A ? (can't quite figure the clue with '- broken desk first'

which leaves just this last one 22a) 'besides being a toff' -S -E-L (as well?) probably 'swell'!

[Puzzled001]

skedaddled (desk-anagram)
a-swell-ok

[veetprahas]

thanks so much puzzled001 for all your help - it's 'strange' how suddenly inspiration and understanding happens with two minds working at the same time and with the same focus - mental blocks evaporated! thanks again and have a good easter
