So I can see you've given the answer but can you explain how that is relevant to what the clue was? lol lol

Point to final blow contained in information here in the US.(2 words)

 

North is a point, final blow, knockout =KO. In information =data, ko in data is Dakota and North Dakota is in the US.

They're not clever really, it's just lateral thinking.

 

Still 1 left;

 

A German upset at the back of the queue to see boss (_ _ _ _/_ _ _ _ _ _ _ )

Um, would anyone mind explaining the line manager one? I'm also dreadful at cryptic crosswords.

So I can see queue = line and boss = manager but what the hell has a German got to do with it? lol

Manager = "a german" annagramised (upset).

 

One day I'll figure one of these out without seeing the word first.
