Missed My Bus

**Hi solvers,** and sorry about all the innuendo and toilet humour in his one.  Private Eye's Cyclops is a bad influence sometimes (to say nothing of Viz's Craptic Crossword.)  Hope you got on ok; drop me a line in the comments below to let me know.  Here comes the wash-up:

ACROSS.  4A. ||Anag. RIDESNUDE.|| 7A. ||Double def.|| 8A, 9A, 11A. ||Streak = FLASH + given literal IN THE + toilet bowl = PAN.|| 12A. ||Double def. and old joke.||

DOWN.  1D. ||Containment of anag. PLUM inside "ring bell" = DING.|| 2D. ||remove first letter of "bush" = HEDGE.|| 3D. ||Reversal of "keen" = AVID.|| 5D. ||"About" = RE + anag. CLEFT.|| 6D. ||anag. EACHEND + new = N.|| 10D. ||first letter of "take" = T + "the piss" = WEE.|| 11D. ||homophone of "be voyeuristic" = PEEK.||

Very nice, I wish I could know how you geniuses do it, but it turns out that in the crossword community I was nothing more than a 8a/9a/11a (ps: going the toilet route i half expected a flush/flash swapulation)
