I wonder if anyone can help with my last little niggle. In 39d what is the relevance of 'or Jimmy (all scots)'. I can't see that it is necessary or why it is there. What have i missed? Thanks in advance

Lumen its a bit of a stretch but its the 4th letter of the first word

mullingar - just included as another example of what you already have with letter change to assist the formation of the characters....

Lumen - mullinger has helped with defn ... wordplay is fairly standard require something for each of next three words ...

Thank you crates I had a letter change in the first word. Thats it all sorted now

Lumen - it’s not just ‘T’, it’s ’cut up’ ‘T’.

Worth looking up the Chamber’s entry of the relevant adjective in the answer’s definition.

By my standards it's gone well this weekend. I have the misprints and nearly filled the grid. However I am stuck on 29 across. I have a word that fits but cannot see how it matches the clue. Could some kind soul give me a hint before I move on to highlight and search for the preceding characters. Many thanks

williamseal - definition (with misprint) is first word.
The rest is a 'charade' clue - 1+1+4+1

Thanks - still struggling alas. Which letter in the first word is the misprint? Sorry to ask!

ws - the fourth letter changes!
