Clues have a surplus word OR their wordplay is a letter short:
9d Eccentric East London men like following Derby perhaps (7) ?A???U?

[Neveracrossword]

The reference to Derby is cheese- Caseous. (Cases,eccentric and OU, men). I haven't done the wordplay stuff, sorry!

[saladdodger]

Thanks Neveracrossword... just got the 5 titles to sort now...

[Neveracrossword]

Glad I could help, saladdodger. I've fallen behind- I have big gaps in the missing letters part, so can't get any title!

[ProfessorMaisie]

Title has 4 words - 3/5/4/4
can also give the initial letters if that would help.

[Neveracrossword]

Thanks, PM, but I got a nice clean scrap of paper, wrote things down and it all became clear.

[ProfessorMaisie]

Glad you got there N. Hope you didn't mind me jumping in.

[Neveracrossword]

Not at all, ProfessorMaisie, I thought it was very kind of you!

[ProfessorMaisie]

Thanks Neveracrossword, that's very kind of you too.
