Needing help with last 2 in North west corner.
1 and 9 across I have C-B---/-N-A

3 down --0-I-R

Hope I've set them out sensibly as it is my first post.

Hi chaucer49 - welcome
It's always best to give the clues.

You have 1d wrong, I think. 3d was hinted on an earlier thread.

Your C and your N are wrong in 1,9.

1/9 Forbidden City artist's a blank slate (6,4)

I was very pleased with myself when I managed to crack 1, 9 ac, but I had to look up the answer.
I've just got one left, which is 8 down. When stranded, how's your father to get a cocktail?
I thought I'd got it with "he's on the rocks", but 24 ac has scuppered that. Could it be bench? If so, why?

Sex on the beach - a cocktail


how's your father - sex

Thanks Mamya
I'd managed to miss a whole page from the forum as I make the mistake of using my tablet instead of my laptop. I frequently tap in vain to bring up the right page. Today I even got some really unpleasant site by mistake!

Oh dear - not nice, you're welcome.
