All done, except that I cannot parse 14 across. All its letters are checked, so maybe it does not matter, but for the sake of completeness, I would like to know how it works. A hint would be appreciated.

0pt0, re 14a, a word for Scottish cattle, minus 'gathering' (4) (eg in sewing). Def is an old word for 'lay' (song)

Good to be back in the Forum after the access problems. I really missed it yesterday as I am wholly at sea. I want to respect the spirit of this thread but desperately need help.

Is the 11 word down in the second column a species that if it arrived off my Norfolk sandbank would have lost its way by a long distance?

I have filled the gird other than the double clues. I have the first pair and the last pair (the boy done good) but cannot see where or how they fit. Early days but any hep welcome. Am dreadfully stuck

A good construction and pleasing endgame. It provided a pleasant challenge in itself, and who knew there were so many words to describe the theme!

Ginge at #15, how does "I've emailed you" work in a forum?

Hi lumen, I believe (from experience) williamseal was looking for help which is no longer deemed appropriate on this Listener thread.
