Chris, I’d not heard of 10a but I guess it’s used in beer making. Job is four letters around a single letter.

23d is a homophone for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th words, and the definition is a particular meaning of the final word. In 10a the second word is the (final word of clue) where the first word goes.

Thanks both. I can't see how 23d gives "side", though.
Still no light dawning on 10 and 2!

Think of an extra.

For 2 you could visit Kent. Not many left now, though.

Chrise, re your post @32, I was in IT for most of my working life before I retired (including 15 years in an I.T. consultancy firm) and I have never heard of that meaning of 5d!

Are my crossers right for 23d? (Sorry for spoiler)
B?A?I

pdm on 10a!

...and so 3d

So it's just 23, and possibly 25, to resolve

Chrise 23d is a really horrible "reported", but one of my favourite "side"s. I groaned out load when I solved it,
