I also put that elsewhere, but then the unchecked letters didn't fit.

Thicko here got too excited and forgot about the quiche! All done now - thanks for the help.

Despite advice at #26, I still have the 'MEDLAV' one to solve.
I only have two letters left to fill the gaps, but no ideas.
Nice puzzle. I got in a mess with 5d and 12a but sorted those eventually.
And two very unusual words in the 1a slot!

Lumen, you unstuck yet? 24d is two 3-letter synonyms for the same word. As last resort, you could hunt Chambers for every possibility of the first one, as only it’s last letter is unchecked.

I’m good with apostrophes, but autocorrect isn’t!

Thanks Graham, I have it.
Was confused by earlier advice which I thought implied a three word item.

Great puzzle with a very fun endgame, especially the unclued starting HH! I found 8d very tricky !

I am so close to finishing this, with help from the clues here, it's maddening!

I'm stumped by 7d and 8d, and consequently haven't got the last part of the top silvered entry. I thought I had the 4 letter silvered entry but now I am questioning it because 8d is making no sense to me. I only have two of the quiche letters left to fit in, but switching them round doesn't get me anywhere.

Can someone put me out of my misery with a big hint for 7d and 8d?

7D
Definition is Red.
4 letter word for weighing machine in Scotland. Its last letter is the extra. I'm also stumped by 8D
