Thanks for the explanation of STERNE. It really couldn’t be anything else but I couldn’t quite work it out.
BY GEORGE had me puzzled for a bit; I was trying to think of pop stars recently in trouble with the law but only Ms Winehouse and Mr Docherty came immediately to mind.
Very subtle clueing for CLIENT, Eastwood being the birthplace of D H Lawrence.

Excellent blog and excellent puzzle. Thanks for explaining SIENNA – it looked like that from the wordplay but nmsindy weakness on films meant I did not get the rest.

Thanks – Now I look more thoroughly in Chambers it’s even clearer – the second definition of ‘list’ there is ‘to remove the edge from’.

Nice debut daily blog. Re: 6A, list’s second definition in Collins is border – it was new to me, too.
