2. Rate is another word for scold, so he would be over(ly) rated

Obiter

I agree. A termagant is a nagging wife and as iminoz says, rate is another word for nag.

As for no. 1 the 'heart' of the name Susan are the central letters, USA. I would have thought that it would have made more sense in a British paper than a Cadanian one.

Thanks iminoz and Obiter. Agree with 2. but 1 still?????

Obiter

As I said, if it were in a British paper then USA (the 'heart' of Susan) would be across the Atlantic.

I agree but it's not! I wonder if the G & M gets its crosswords from the UK

dannyk13

(s)usa(n) is across the atlantic.

Obiter

Could well be. A lot of these things are syndicated and occasionally what works in one place may not work in another. In a British paper it would be fine as a clue.

I think you've got it right Obiter
