Last one and really struggling with this one.

28a

Stallone consumes about 25 bananas? Only Just.

I am guessing scarcely. So getting the Sly for Stallone and getting scarcely for only just. But not getting why carce is 'about 25 bananas'. Any help please???

What is the answer to 25 ?
Try mixing up the letters , if it is 5 letters long, and put them into "sly". Just a suggestion
Question Author
Right Gotcha. Thanks. 25 is ACRE. So that gives me 4 letters from carce. I wonder what the other C has to do with bananas. How very obscure this setter is !!
Question Author
Maybe the C comes from consumes and it has nothing to do with bananas. Just making the sentence make sense?
A banana is shaped like the letter C, I guess.
C is circa or about
c is for circa (about)
(If C is for circa, why is bananas in the clue?)
SLY consumes or eats C (about) + ACRE (jumbled up - or bananas), giving us SCARECELY or "just about"
" 25 bananas" is a way of saying an anagram of 25.
Fair enough, hadn't thought of bananas meaning jumbled up or anagram. Thanks.
Question Author
Many thanks for all your posts. I should have known C for circa being a genealogist Tsk. And the bananas meaning mixed up.

thanks all
