thanks

You're welcome. No idea about the others.

2D seaweed could be ORE & dark brown could be ACORN.
How to fit those together? Maybe you have a wrong letter?

Don't have the puzzle, but someone will figure it out.
Good luck.

12 across STALE (Urine acc. to [I]Chambers[/I]) 'stale' also another old word for 'stole' ('no longer take')

2dn I had '[I]arame[/I]'. Only one unchecked letter. so it had to be this, although the parsing is unclear to me.

13 ac is 'halfpipe' giving me the 'a' in 2 dn.

Well done, Harlequin, re 12A.

As you were sure of ARAME, it suddenly came to me:
(C)ARAME(L) a dark brown hue
seaweed in (CL)ass

Though neither Chambers, or any of my dictionaries have that abbreviation

PS Harlequin:

The HTML tags have to be lower case, e.g.:
this is italic
[I]this is not italic[/I] & shows the attempted code.

I ran some tests a while ago & found that only the 3 tags shown in "Reply" mode are supported:
"b" bold
"i" italics
"u" underlined
