Ooooh! Might you give me a hint for 27D, xwordfan ? Ionacarr, I have an "L" as the third letter in 1D. Has anyone done 2D or 9A ? If so hints much appreciated. At present my progress could be described as "dead-slow and stop".

Thanks malone.
I have L for second letter in11a so holdup's L works.

Samovar,

I just gave hint to 27d.
9a Revulsion is the def.

Exercise is USE in word play.

Thanks Sunray, sadly 27d is one of the two I have managed. Just having great trouble even getting the clues. Think I have 15a but can't parse it at all.

Thank you very much, Sunray. And thanks xwordfan for the Vinegar.

Mary,
for 9a, think of a word ending in USE+A that means revulsion. The extra letter will be self evident. It comes out of a 5 letter word.

5d is anagram. A 7 letter word meaning Fertility. Regularly funds is FNS.

6d is anagram. Means Vessel.

31a is anagram after taking out two letters from a 7 letter word.
Crystal is the def.

Hope this gets you started.

Thanks again, sunray. At last I think I might make some progress !

34a defn is standing stone ...O in hero is extra

You are welcome, samovar.

I have only a handful so far.

It takes a lot of staring and examining each word to find the extra letter.
Some answers like 6d and 31a are new words to me.

I'm not sure about the extra letter in 4D, although I have the answer. Is it the "A" from awarded ?
