Is that a clue or a comment?
How many letters please and do you have any?
I think that was given as an answer on a different thread, factor.
It's the answer to 21 A! There was some mention earlier that the clue refers to an opera, and You Never Can Tell is a play.
It's nothing to do with any play, it refers to the opera William Tell - "you can never, Tell" - and is simply a colloquialism for when something might happen but don't depend on it.
Thanks, bibblebub - I must have got the earlier post wrong.
There's a user who seems to think that it must be a reference to a play by Shaw but it's a general phrase not specific to that. Maybe it originated with the play (but then again probably not), and, even if it did, it has come into general usage.
There is no reference to a play in the clue, of course, but there should have been.
Believe me :-)
