Thanks, Rosalind. For the homophone, think of a (dire) UK chat show, it used to be on around lunchtime.

Not sure I've ever watched a chat show since Parky hung up his boots! But no matter, I have the answers.

I think 9d is beyond my general knowledge?
And I don't have the little crosser 19a...
Otherwise a quick fill.

Thanks Syzygy and Sunray.

That was a lot of fun - it makes a pleasant change for us Brits to have to figure out American terms and names rather than the other way round.

Yes lumen.
9d is an anagram and clothes are marked down with labels showing those five letters. I think used only here in USA,

Mary Jane is weed. And skinny is info for 19a.

Sorry sunray it was 8d I needed.
I worked out 9d, that's the abbreviation I guess.

8d is the US Defense Department building.
Prison is 3, 3 + Tag On. Writing instrument can also be prison.

Of course, sorry. I confidently entered the wrong 'uncommon' word for 29a, leaving 9d unsolvable.
