I tjink the answer is honest to goodness?
Have you got red hot for 14 across?

poker tip may be ultimately for the hand with no eight

Thanks for the suggestion - I get the real bit but can't see the rest of the clue!

Thanks also for red hot - had not got that
I found it very difficult today - but I have managed to complete it except the bottom left hand corner!
HONEST TO probably comes from anagram of H TEST ON and maybe the O from old boy. But i can't see where GOODNESS comes from. I would expect a B in the last word
No, it's not just you. Only just started it this morning and got HEAR and JEWELLER after half an hour's scratching around... Can't help with anything at the moment! Back to the table.
I thnk 'boy' is as in 'Oh boy!' or 'Goodness!' I'm struggling with this weeks puzzle too!
