If anyone has started this, any ideas on parsing 20d 'Stink after woman.....'?
I've got a full grid etc, but struggling to identify some of the misprints. (As usual!).

Granama, four letters of the word give an unusual (to us) word that Americans use to mean 'woman'. The other two letters mentioned in the clue go inside it, so divorced, split up. (I think!)

I don't understand 2/9 across.

Second part is 'not going ahead' (with same definition).

Just to save anyone wasting the same amount of time that I did. The 9 letter word from the typos is not in Chambers.* The CrosswordSolver Quicksolve has it though.

* Not in the Android digital version or the Revised 13th Edition.

Very good advice granama.
I had the last two letters quite early in, so thought it would be a piece of the proverbial to get the whole word.
I went through all kinds of contortions before resorting to:

Really struggling with this one. Any hint on the “entered in an appropriate way”? That might help. Thanks!

luckysalem,
Some of the entries in the left hand grid are "back to front"

Hi Muraria,

Only some of them? They share part of the clue, right?
