I have two left:

22d A short turn-up for the girl (4) ???A.

24a Old dears - about 49 (6) ??I?E?.  I think an L must be go after the I for 49 but that's as far as I can go.

22d Vera?

Vera (rev for turn backwards)

Exiles - exes for old dears with li as you thought.  Exiles was a James Joyce book - as many of the answers are.

Question Author
Thanks to you both - help greatly appreciated.
Have you got 27a ?  Its the only one I have still to get.

Don't have a Guardian (done the Times, now doing the Mail) - what's the clue?

compiler has turned into fruit - hence, is abnormal

-e-i-t-s

Possibly DEVIATES (abnormal) - dates as fruit? can't see the compiler (IV)? Thought compiler might have been SETTER in reverse?

DEVIATES then?

Question Author
It is DEVIATES - DATES with I'VE contained in reverse!
Should put my specs on!!
Thank you one and all!
