How many letters in the answers you need, ralph? do you have any already?

[ralphwalker]

17( (d) Lookalike i.e.Double (john same as loo)

12 (a) Raked

I need help with 21 (a) and 22( d)

Why is the answer to 8 (d) Name Day, which it seemingly must be?

21 ac is Rosie.
Rosie Lee is cockney rhyming slang for Tea, and Cider with Rosie is the title off a novel. Rosie is a homophone for rosy (=red).
I still haven't got 7dn and 22dn.

7d (Red) Shank - S(outh) + Hank
22d (Red) Start

8d Name day = "say + when" & "the day when a buyer's name is given to the seller at the stock exchange"

Thanks both of you
