  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)
