Try as I do I cannot fit the answers, which I look up on Danword, to any of the cryptic rules that I understand.
So please can someone explain just 3 of the clues/answers
Go through old block - VETO
Articles foremost in most country music - ANTHEM
A tot's raised to adopt Australian philosopher - SPINOZA
Thank you.
VET is to "go through" in the sense of "process" + O is "old" => "block" which is VETO
I am not really sure about ANTHEM, but it looks like the two "articles" AN + THE with the "foremost" part of "most" being M => ANTHEM which is country music?? (edit: duh as in the music of a country.. sorry I am slow today)
"A tot's" in slang could be A NIPS in the sense of "a shot of alcohol"... "raised" being reversed and "adopt" indicating put "Australian" = OZ in it for a confusing clue to the philosopher SPINOZA
Someone else may have better justification!
