Thanks paulnz.
I really should have got that, as investment appeared in an earlier Everyman. That gave me the crosser so finally finished.

Thanks for the 16a hint. Got it. Helped me with 5d as well. Still stuck on 14. Not helped by my lack of 23 and 25 crossers. ?e?r?s????

14 is like two charades, missing a definition.

14 parses as 3,7. Definition is shows

Thanks, dscutler. Great hint which allowed me to finish.

Paulnz - I see what you mean!

After my hour failed in the NW -can't get 1a,1d, 4d, 5d and 9a.
Can't get 4d despite the many hints and I don't think I'm ever going to parse 19a unless it is spelled out to me very slowly.
I've got 23a but can't see the "gross, we're told" bit.

Well, I'm well and truly stuck. I've only done twelve despite all the hints.
I'll check again later . . .
Stay cool, one and all

Thanks for all the hints. I just have 19a left, but I can still only see one word that fits, which doesn't seem to have anything to do with the clue

I have s?o?n?r is this correct?

Also like loubyloo I don't get 23 unless the gross refers to income?
