22a Conclusion that's around 50-50? (5,4) CLOSE ... C*ALL, is it? If so, please

would someone help with 18d: Possibly meet at one or later (7) T?*A?I??

*A is conjectural. This has been a tough solve ...

Teatime (anagram)
Close call is correct

[scorpiojo]

Yes
Teatime anag meet at 1

[Lie-in King]

Yes - Close call - 'close' (conclusion) + 'c(irc)a' (around) + 'LL' (50-50; Roman)

18d Teatime - anag 'meet at i (one)'

[JJ109]

^^ actually anagram of "meet at 1"

[Toorak]

Close call is correct

Teatime

OH b*****r! I'd thought of an anagram last night.
Thank you, everyone. Sweet relief, it's over - I do love Tramp, though.
Happy Sunday.
