Thanks, Prospero reference 5D. I was working on "oh, er, missus"!

strange ... because I do have a son called Jack - and he is a beamish boy

I'm struggling with my last two.

12ac Made crossing over British India (6) ???G?D

13dn Old artists and conservatives have kitchen gardens (9) ??I?O?I?S

Are my letters correct ?

13dn begins with O and ends in TORIES :-)

12a a river crossing around B(ritish) I(ndia) - def 'made' for the other answer that includes your 'g'.

I'm struggling to parse the answer to 9ac I've got an answer which is a synonym for "cleans" but I can't work out what the elemental substitution was. Any help appreciated.

Tobydd, the first 2 letters changed. Not common elements.

Thanks mattrom. Got it now.

6d gives me a problem - it appears that the first two letters are to be changed, but I can;t get anything that might be defined by 'wrestle', or that gives a plausible container at 6a.

yes, the first 2 are changed to silver, giving a conventional crossword word for snakes at 6a
