Independent Inquisitor 1199

[Indy-trier]

Am close to completion and think I have 33A. However I'm stuck on 4D and 21D. Any tips please?

[factor-fiction]

Yes- please let us know the clue and details of the number of letters/known letters

[judypark]

For 4d, think International rugby dances, this will give you 4 letters in order, of the word you are looking for. Sorry, can't help with 21d. Haven't got that far yet.

factor30 has tried to help you but......
I've finished & posted it but without you giving the clues.......

[judypark]

I have completely ground to a halt now. Any help with 1d or 30d might give me a kick start. 1d Man's information about highest part of plant. ??s????? 30d Inclines to overlook English desserts. 5 letters.

30d: Missing letter 'F' / Inclines to overlook 'E' = L(E)ANS

[Indy-trier]

Apologies to factor30 and Micky666 - I've only just managed to get back to my computer! Thanks for your offers of help but judypark's answer has just given me the help I needed. Thanks judypark.

Your welcolme Indy and thanks to Micky.Still stuck on 33a, but hey, you can't win' em all. Partner and I have won champagne with this twice in the last year, both wins turning up in September, this year and last, and put away for Christmas. Not cheapo stuff either. Both turned up unannounced within a week of submission.

Hi judypark
I have a somewhat bouncy answer for 33A with a "vagrant" beginning but I could be wrong. I tend to convince myself of all sorts! Good luck.

Can anyone help me with 31a, please?

I've now given up on the puzzle...........hopelessly lost, and for this week, at least, have thrown the towel in! Look forward to seeing the resolution!

Many thanks for taking the time to help my fuddled brain!
