Thanks, Rossim, I missed that. (Well, I was wondering if the given letters hadn't been written down slightly wrongly!)

Re 86d. Thanks Malone and Mildred but still no wiser. I can see where you are coming from - nudity? but given that the response to 89a has already been given in this thread as nesters (which I already had, but not obvious if you don't have the grid), that gives me an n as the second letter. I'm also (fairly) sure that the u is correct, but very willing to be proved wrong (as I usually am)

Thanks, norrier. I haven't seen the puzzle, I just worked on the clue. I thought it was Nudity, for all to see. NY, New York, with (A)udit,judge, inside.

Apologies if this mucks things up!

86d The u came from the following clue:
92a fruitcake permitted after reduced veggie meal (3,6)

nut cutlet (the u in cutlet)
