    I couldn't get any of these. You are far too clever for me. I would welcome parsing for every clue.

      i had to bail as well, definitely way beyond my fading skills or lack thereof, still thanks for the education, painful though the lesson may be
      not to speak for the constructor, but here's what i had for the parses, anyone can feel free to correct me
      • 1a wESt cOASt, but with the first part put at the end ("finally")
      • 4a ddef - i had CROWD, which probably was my biggest stumbling block
      • 5a really tough one - G ($1000), then M (mega) inside (bridge-ing) E (bEt heart) and S (spades)
      • 1d anagram of CROS (no w)
      • 2d small = S, era = EPOCH
      • 3d anagram of WEST plus side of Story?

        Thanks for the comments. 5A I've never seen "bridge" used as a containment indicator; it is not in any of my references. Is it fair to split up an abbreviation (MB) into constituent parts? "Mega" on its own isn't in Chambers abbreviation dictionary.

          Thanks for giving it a go. I don’t own a copy of Chambers abbreviation dictionary, but they do have an entry for “mega-“ in their online dictionary, with “symbol M”: https://chambers.co.uk/search/?query=mega&title=21st

            Many thanks; my humble apologies!

              No worries!

          Thanks for doing that, I believe all of your parsing is correct!
