I'm still not sure about 27d (begins IN), but 25a is que(bec)(g)enie.

7d) Harrow or Eton give firm foundations.
---O-- (6 letters)Surely not 'school'? That would be easy enough for the Daily Moron...
12d) What plies the Eastern Med under a couple of Moroccans.
-O(S)(I)-C (6 letters).
PS-With all respects to Mr. Laws, I hate themed xwords-straightforward boring ones only, please. Also I like some longer words-these are all fiddly little words, which don't give you an edge. Suppose that's the challenge but I don't like it-any comments?

7d Enroot.
I still haven't finished, but I suspect the second two sides of the tribute are in Latin.

Thanks for queenie.
This themed crossword is not as enjoyable as the more usual ones.

I have MOSAIC for 12 down as I assumed 23 ac was THICK but maybe I'm being thick as I can't see why MOSAIC should be right.

16 D. South Yorkshire town? Eff off! (6)
s--el-

Sh(eff)ield

Sh(eff)ield!

MO (Two Moroccans) + SAIC (Easterm Med boat)

Thanks, both of you - don't know how I missed that one!
