A quickie perhaps, but such charming clues. Thanks, syzzie.

I finally worked out the downsizing, having been struck by lightning when I saw 14 ac didn't work with 15 dn as it was. Still not done much and must do some work!

Thanks syzygy, yet another new concept, enjoyable as ever.

Finally finished it except for 32 ac. (LE?R?) with a little help. I think the idea was rather clever,even if I was annoyed at first. (actually I can think of another scenario where some mild annoyance can be quite enhancing!)
I like the answer to 13 ac.
Thanks syzygy

Hi ros, it might help for confirmation to "do" the clue in reverse. There are few possibilities and only 1 that would fit any part of the clue as definition. The "L" should be obvious and therefore pull-down must be ... It seems to be an "Americanism" as this meaning is not given in Chambers but is in Merriam-Webster.

Ok got it, thanks ginge. I had the word noted but couldn't see it. Phew, time for some wood splitting, much easier!

It's common here but a bit slangy (I'd say), as in "If he's a doctor he's got to pull down three figures."

Thanks aristo; never heard that before!
(L)earning all the time!
