I think you'll find that 'that' refers to 'obsolete change' where 'd' = old penny.

Like it stevem. I'm now niggleless. And I take back what I said about an iffy clue.

Ah - the (old) penny drops!

Of course! That's much better. My stab at rationalising it was bugging me a bit, I must say.

Thanks Steve M.

I have all the answers but don't get three of the clues.
25a: Enduring slang, formerly (no longer) restricted (8)
8d: Stable of a similar kind in Scotland houses Indian pony (6)
9d: See target of destructive bouncer, one in, duck! (5)
I get enduring, stable, and duck, of course.

I'm assuming that TAT is an indian pony (in SIC) but can't find it

Scratch 8d. Found tat.

25a ONST (once) in CANT (slang)

Ah! Thanks, Tony!

9d, anyone? Noble ixion? I thought about just letting it go, but envied the niggleless peterm, even though he's a cyber-phantom. (Just kidding, peterm. I know you must be real. Well, "know" is a little strong I suppose. I even doubt the existence of California, despite the fact that so many acquaintances claim they've been there. I mean it just doesn't seem possible.)
