Thanks Vagrant, but I don't get on with the Grauniad - especially not Araucaria - I don't see why everyone rates him so highly when he cheats so often... Just my opinion...

[Bunnygirl1411]

Z=Zeugma

No Rest = Northwest (NW) with middle (heart) removed. No rest for the wicked, so the lot of the wicked is no rest.

[Bunnygirl1411]

K=Kisumu
Z=Zeugma

Northwest (NW) with heart missing. No rest for the wicked (so it's their lot)

[FrenchWill]

Fine crossword. Alphabetic are my favourite

Lot = sum; UK backwards around 1 sum = K I SUM U = Kisumu = a port in Kenya.

ZEUs G MA = zeugma = a figure of speech

Take the heart (middle letters) out of NORthwEST
