Lumen, swap your second letters for 8 and 10d.

8d is a double definition, the fish is in Bradfords.
10d is an acronym for the last 3 words.

Thanks, have 10d.
Fish not in Chambers? Ends in S?
I now have 13a sorted but not a clue on 14a. Only anagram I can find is a racehorse.

8d, the fish is in Chambers, doesn't end in s

Not the race horse then!

No lumen, no race horses involved in 14ac as far as I'm aware, but maybe some horses with black plumes possibly distantly relevant.

kindred at #74 - I think I have understood you. until now I have centred the shape at the centre of a cell, since my original interpretation of "grid intersection" was just that - but that leads precisely nowhere apart from lots of jumbles. do I assume that the shapes are centred on one of the places where vertical and horizontal grid lines meet? not sure that I can see much there either but ...(a sunday largely wasted, I fear). I think the pdm can't be far away - no, I hope the pdm can't be far away - but still out of reach. a hint would be useful: is the quotation from the central writer in ODQ (the current edition)? Gazing at the last letter of 18 and the letters above and below it suggest a possible way in - or is this a waste of ti

yes, the shapes are centered on intersecting grid lines. Yes, the quote from #2 is in ODQ. And no, focusing on that last letter is not a waste of ti, or of time for that matter.

finally got there, thanks to knowing where to centre the shape. was it worth it? yes, but only just!

Final plea for help with an answer, 21a, I have seen the definition tip. Can’t see it, or the four letter string.
