anniec and AJT thanks, weak spot spot on, tho I think the'pot' part is the bet with w-e and ask, just brilliant. I have what you have AJT except for 42d, and I also have 13a.
This is a great site, thanks again for helping.
Three more:
1d Believe '60's teenager about quality of mags (6) wi????
2d Rum in tea for boss? (5) en???
3d A bit of nerve degeneration hospital's ignored - reversal in future seen? (8)
an??????

2d looks like like entia but why?

Entia is an anagram of "in tea". 42 d is also an anagram "doctor does" = dose.

Thanks again AJT, I understood the anagram but what definition does it meet in the clue? I can't come up with any variation of boss that means entia. Thanks for 42d too.

The only thing I can come up with is "bods" instead of "boss" - but the more I think of it, the more I believe that's it! It is a word in Chambers, as a person

Thanks for that Ixion - I thought "wisdom" but couldn't make "mags" anything intelligible.

I hope I'm not breaching copyright, but here comes another clue - there are no black squares in this crossword so some letter combinations can be excluded.
15A Old representation of map? It contains intricate design (6) st????
The third letter is also the third letter of 3D which begins an (see above).
Wisdom Ixion? Fantastic!

15A looks a bit like scheme(but the "t" would have to be wrong)

The t is from entia. I was thinking stayne, Spencerian for stain, mar, but don't see the intricate design part.
Why scheme?

Hi, Ixion. I dn't think there's much doubt about the "entia" (anagram, and it fits) I've been trying to fit STROUP for 15 ac It's a waord for water tap, (tap - map) but I can't fit it.
