I'm happy with all those except 23 (sort of) and 2 - I'd forgotten I hadn't parsed those.

23 is more because, without crossers, there are two equally not quite right answers.

Specifically, can you tell me where the 2nd and 3rd letters in 10a come from? I can see the rest.

For those without the puzzle, the clue is
Black pipe down to bin I fill with food (7)

First 3 letters mean the same as the first word of the clue.

Ah - I'd just taken that to give the first letter.

Actually, 12a is another. I'm sure my answer is correct and fits with most of the clue but just not sure how the 2nd and 3rd to last words of the clue fit in.

12a got missed off my list - not sure why, as I had ringed it!

A-ha! Nice one, thanks sudokulover

Could you help me parse 6d please? The only word that fits is fine for the definition (last word if I am right)but the wordplay makes no sense to me.
Thanks!

Oops Not 6d but 10 across. Sorry!
