Sarumite - are you on line ? Finding this one hard today plus answerbank is very very slow - can you or anyone help
20ac assume this is 'badinage' but why ?
18d Contrary, are against fencing it in (8)
23d Writing on a daily has its attractions - is it 'column'
17ac Least good position is outside the roundabout (7)
26ac First force to cover for and that's wrong (7)

Thanks in advance
