15a Little old bird tom's sneakily trapped in trough (7)
TITM _ _ E
I can find Titmice, but that is plural and doesn't parse. Is TITMOSE an alternative spelling of "titmouse" and if so does "tie" = "trough" (+ anagram of Tom's)?

4d Pompous company with old-style order where its heart should be (6)
C _ E _ T _
(The 6th letter of 15a = the 4th letter here)

Many thanks

Many thanks both v-e and Iminoz. Excellent - finished!
Iminoz - did you find both the Everyman and the Azed particularly easy today, especially the Everyman!

Best wishes to both
Yes JJ, I usually do Everyman first to try and get my brain in gear for Azed.
I have thought that Azed has been easier for several weeks now. I'd like to think my mind is improving, but that isn't likely.

Thanks Iminoz - you have the same thoughts as me!
