Well done spotting the typos. I don't come here until I'm completely stumped. I wish I had this morning. That is a couple of hours lost that I'll never get back. Those 3 clues are actually some of the easier ones. Still can't see the full parsing of 18d.

Very early start for me today and only 1 left. 2D. I think I have 8 across wrong (I have it ending in u). Any pointer would be good.
