ChrisE - if you are stuck at all... loads of answers on the answerbank!

Thanks, SDL - "stuck at all" hardly describes it. It must be years since I have got so few answers in a Guardian - about a third done. Still totally baffled by the "Special Instructions".

I don't like Answerbank much - not as friendly as here.

i very nearly gave up in frustration. look for some of the easier wordplay where the result isn't a real word - that is still what needs to be entered.
i doubt you'll need answerbank (or much help at all).

Frustrating, and likewise not getting the special instructions at all. Is the answer to 11 down Heidegger? Can't fully parse it but there is a connection with "Neither Here Nor There"

Argh! Is 18 across watchdog? That's the only relevant answer I've got that might be wrong (AFAIK)

watchdog is right, of the other crossing letters your 13a is wrong.
remember, the wordplay (and what you enter) doesn't equal the definition. you add a word to get that.
