7d Brenda symbolically tender? Not any more. (3,5) T?e ???w? . Brenda in PE speak is the Queen so I'm sure the answer is The Crown which is what she is symbolically -but how does rest of clue work?
The 2nd letter of the second word would therefore be r so I think 12a End of Times? Neat! Ace! is "expert" on the grounds that an expert is ace , neat could be pert. Not so sure about end of Times being ex but perhaps one can say that after the eighties have been and gone , it is ex eighties? Or can one?
Thanks
