Don't waste your time unless you have a Brewer's 20th edition to hand. My 18th edition is no use.

Spectator 2614

This week’s Speccy is a bit of an animal. Although I’m on the back straight, two clues are eluding me, both linked to 11a, so this q is probably best for those who have already solved that one. 40a...
