Hello everyone. I hope you've all had a good Christmas.

I've almost finished the Boxing Day Jumbo, but there are a couple I'm not sure about:

29a: One full of idle chatter that's put on Flower of Scotland? (6)
The letters I have are D - E - A -. I think the answer must be DEEJAY, but I can't fully see why. DEE is a river ("flower") in Scotland, but I don't see how the rest of it works.

45d: I was regularly seen with sea monster in the drink (3,3). Letters are - C - / T - A. It looks like ICE TEA. Please can someone explain it?

All help gratefully received!

45d I + Cetea (alternative spelling of Ketea)

Trying to find clarrification, But I think the setters parse is:

I (w)A(s) with 'Cete' inside.
Cete (Whale in Greek Mythology)

Cete (whale) A monster (in size) of the sea

29, Collins has "jay", a foolish or talkative person.

Thanks shooty. Is it just me, or does that seem a bit contrived?

Thanks rusty. But what in the clue means “deejay”?

Possibly the person who put on the record of "Flower of Scotland"?

Ignore my first 2 bumblings.

I (w)A(s) with 'Cete' inside.

Sorry for the confusion :-)
