For 38A I had no hesitation putting Ordnance Survey in for "OS in full" and after that eveything went chaotic. Sloppy clue! Also two typos in today's clues: In 3D "fro" instead of "for" was obvious, but I spent ages on trying to decipher "metal of glass" in 52A until I realised "of" was a typo for "or". Was this just me, or should we be giving this feedback to the Times compiler on behalf of quite a few of us?

I too confused by typos and ambiguities. Why not let them know they (the Times) it's sloppy. Re: 52a. Is the answer 'furnacing' I have ??N?A?ING, which makes the 'N' wrong.

Annealing

Mamya. Thank you, had trouble with 'upland' but then obviously annealing. All done bar 19a. 'I am to blame' 3,5. I have ?e? C?l?a? is it french, latin, or gone wrong somewhere?

Mea culpa (Latin)

Rosalind. Thank you so much. Yes, have heard the term although it's seldom used in speech or text (except crosswords}? Thanks again.

Rumbler are you the 'Rambler'having a well deserved 'grumble'?

Janebb....no, no I'm not rambler in disguise, though that's very clever response to my post about typos with just one letter changed. "Rumbler" was just meant to have a low-profile (low frequency) behind-the-scenes image. Also never intended it to be associated with "grumbling" really.

Thanks for reply, curiosity put to rest. See quite a lot of 'RAMBLER' postings but it now appears we have a new Rumbler with a low profile?

Rumbler, may I respectfully request that you change your username to avoid confusion?
