jojgamel: was being overcautious, but following dfg2's post - 'He's toast' = 'He's sunk'. Lose the 'n' (the first slice of 'nutritious'), shove in an 'L', and you've got 'sulk'.

dfg2. If you have a copy of Mrs Bradford’s wonderful crossword solvers’ dictionary, the month is writ there. And thanks for verifying my choice of word for *huff* - I’m always over concerned when I can’t parse.

I now have a problem - a tangle - in the SE corner. 43d. Dundee cake very much needed on loch (4) I have TA??
Also 45d. These lead to the solution A and B perhaps (4) I have ?E??

My Dundee cake starts with F rather than T - but I am only part way through so far.

I'm having a little trouble with 32d - I'm certain of the answer, but it seems to clash with my answers for both 50a and 52a.

Can somebody confirm which across it should be clashing with?

I have the same issue as cruciluci- my 52 clashed with all of its checks so I’ve changed it. I think the clash with 32 and 50 must be one of the intended ones. Anyway, lovey puzzle, I’ve managed the phenomenon and 3 very fluffy sources :)

Same prob here cruciluci. Do we assume the anagram found at 32d is incorrect?

I didn't have a clash in 52a but did have 2 clashes in an across answer nearby. The 32d anagram seems OK.

Good afternoon, chums. I don't have a clash at 52 and 32 is indeed a composite anagram - with one clash in the entry.
