Hi Verso,

10D. Borders = Fringes
"fingers" is an anagram of "fringes"

The "I" and the "D' you have given us in your letters may need to be revisited, Verso :wink:

40A. Consequently = Therefore
At that point = there
give a warning to other golfers = fore

Will keep looking at the others for you

Hi Verso,

I agree with Carditel for "Scorpion", "Dinosaurs'' and "Therefore"

30D Creatures from the past = Dinosaurs
"I run ads so" is an anagram of "dinosaurs"

35A is self explanatory

Will keep looking for 24D for you. :wink:

Hi Verso,

24D. Saying what many have said before
Saying = Slogan
What many have said before = Slogan

(Slogan- A phrase used repeatedly, as in advertising or promotion)

If you need help with any of the other clues post again, and I will do my best to assist you :wink:

Regards, Butterfly Very Happy

Hi Buttterfly
Many thanks for the help with the clues. Yes fringes is right, I had to revise 17a to give the n in that one. And the others fit perfectly. Thanks again.
