I have literally just spent an hour and 27mins trying to work out 2d, 3d, and 11d before finally realising my massive oversight! 🤬

Before I embark on the endgame can I get some clarity on ..

32d - Sail with sailor to deliver table for PM? (normal clue)

My answer is 2 letter "sail" followed by 2 letter "sailor" but I can't really see a definition - does Boris like cake - is that it or ...?

I'm struggling with finalising grid fill. Prompts appreciated for 26a "Moderate regularly between sons: nightmare! (9)" and 32a "Fighter disposed of with difficulty (7)". I have a solution for 32a which won't fit and I'm not sure where the error is.

Hi Notnil,

26a - 3 letter "regularly" between "sons" then 4 letter "nightmare" - definition is "moderate" but I didn't know it.

32a - 4 letter "disposed of " + 3 letter "difficulty" - definition is "soldier" (not English)

26 A short word, poetic, for 'regularly' goes inside(between) the usual 'sons', with 'a four-letter 'nightmare' bringing up the rear.
