I believe you are correct on 18, neophyte. I did in fact find it in the Chambers app, but apparently it is not in the main dictionary. I think it may be a now obsolete plural form.

Thanks, Darla.
Neophyte, I checked my Chambers (13th ed.) and definitely didn't find the word. My Collins has it, with no mention of it being obsolete - its says only that it is the plural of the more normal singular word.

I have an answer to 10dn that makes sense in terms of a straightforward bit of wordplay and has an appropriate extra letter, but I have no idea how it corresponds to what seems like a very wordy definition, and the word itself is not in chambers. It appears to be a former name of a currently operating company, but not one that matches the definition. Any hints on this one?

crowded morning, the answer to 10d is a proper name; the wordplay is in the last 2 words.

CM, the answer is a world-renowned (apparently) ... first three words of the clue (and not likely to be included in Chambers).

Thank you. I thought it might be but didn't know

Thanks Malone and Darla for your earlier replies. I use the app, so that is probably the answer

Thanks, Neophyte - I'm relieved that I didn't miss an entry in the book.

As a golfer, I know the answer to 36d ‘Gilbert admits one’s one shot conceded’ but can’t see the construction and this is hindering me from finding the author.

Gilbert is in Chambers as Gb.
