Frank - I'm sorry you haven't got an answer yet, as I mentioned before it would be so much easier for people to spot which crossword this is, if you would put the title of the crossword in the title box - people who've done it will then see it quickly, particularly if they have already completed that crossword.
Boxtops, pity I cannot help you with that information. This syndicate is borrowed and published on a local newspaper on the weekend( friday , for this part of the world). It is unoffficially called as COLLINS CROSSWORD. But that may be because they follow the Collins dictionary and not necessarily the name of the crossword itself. Some other solved clues in the same crossword:
10a magic lantern 12a llama 13a carafe 14a wayzgoose 15a ouse
1d jalapeno 2d pisa 3d blues 5d sung
Trust the above will help my friends.
