  Thanks! I really liked 4A, was sure it was going to be a US v UK ‘chip’ issue until it clicked! What’s the parse on 1D?

    Thanks for solving! 1D is C[=key] + L(oc)K[=lock casing] around IN

  Really clever; I liked all of these clues very much. 1D was my favorite! Thanks Nate :)

  Thanks!

  1A Is "discovered" generally accepted for dropping the first and last letters? I can't find it in any of my resources.

    In my experience “discovered” in that sense is very common, and I’m sure I’ve seen it in quite a few published cryptics
