                    One may say "mighty oaks from little acorns grow", but in the end it's no defence against this! (3)

                      "Mighty oaks from little acorns grow", it is said, but in the end it's no defence against this. (3)

                      Is a fairer way of phrasing it

                                      Can someone help explain to me why "Order large yellow blocks (4,3)" is SORT OUT? (today's grauniad). That must be the answer and I've got everything else but other than sort out = order the word play is totally opaque

                                                Apparently, Pro Patria isn't written on "the" Cenotaph on Whitehall, it bears the inscription The Glorious Dead.


                                                Now that is truly nauseating


                                                (Other war memorials do bear the inscription Pro Patria.)

                                                  "Useless Foreign Secretary" doesn't exactly narrow the field down, does it?
