Well Brendan kept me well occupied this weekend. I managed to finish it finally, although not without "cheating" as my husband would say, or "using my resources" (this forum) as I prefer to call it! Thanks all.

It was enjoyable though I have a couple of reservations:
Is 26 d an actual word? I couldn't find it. Similarly 1 d. seemed a bit contrived.
Also 26 a is too colloquial for my taste - but then I am 195 next birthday.
Perhaps someone will give me a more up to date dictionary then.

For 1 down, One is posted during watch, for instance, as helmsman, I have ???O?E?R and am trying to find an accepted word -- not just the name of a game -- that would extend a 5- letter word for helmsman by -eer and would have a 4-letter word for watch closely using the 1st letter and the -eer. Any support for this? And how does Posted fit in?

Testing with adding a new post.

Posted = placed

One inside a 5 letter word meaning watch.

Testing again..
