...try your fish with a capital B, smellyharry (and a different vowel for the correction).

You’re looking for Aussie slang, smellyharry. The corrected letter begins the first line of the song. And you’re right about the compiler being SS

I had exactly the same for quite a long time Smellyharry and the young fish answer works perfectly well - apart from the typo providing the wrong letter for the hint. Can't be a common occurrence for a clue to work in two completely different ways!

I’m very late to this as I have been in hospital. Have filled the grid, but don’t understand the wordplay for 38a RENTE. I’ve got the second word from the misprints TAN etc, but can’t make out first word. I’ve got TANERAOO which doesn’t make sense. I’m just about to get out the scissors, but any guidance would be appreciated! Many thanks and Happy Christmas everyone!

I have rente as enter (begin) cycling.

Your fourth and seventh corrections are wrong. You'll need to get them right to figure out how you cut up the grid.
