Am I right in thinking that the new 12d is the one in Collins? Unfortunately I don't have a copy.

Very nearly there!
40d - help please.
Then I'm sure I can solve my other remaining, 50a.

40d is a jumble. First word is the def. 2 letter abbreviation for your, then a 3 letter dialect word for piecework.

Hi Umanna,

I think the Collins definition answer is the new 14d which I was able to find in Collins free online dictionary

Thanks for 40 umamma.
I still have one cell to fill in 50a.
It's a jumble of a word meaning more horrid? Can't see anything in the wordplay though.

Thanks Brendan. I was thinking 14d was a proper noun so my definitely-not-in-Chambers 12d might not be wrong. I'll go back to grid staring. So close!

Lumen, 50a is a misprint. More something...

I thought the new 13 across was the one in Collins? It's in the online dictionary but none of the versions of Chambers I own. The new 14 down probably qualifies as well but it's a proper name. Not that it matters!

Hi Lumen,

50a is a corrected letter clue - H to T

first 3 letters of 4 letter "drunk" reversed + a 5 letter "test" this last word looked more like someone who does tests but Chambers gives it:-)

Hi Loge,

I thought that 13a is one of the phrases referred to in the preamble, as in 'one nation .........'
