13d The answer is in the clue
Question Author
Many thanks, writesbad! For one living in France, I should have seen this one!
What say you about 11a? Un grand merci d'avance!
11a Yes, sounds like (Lord) Reith
Question Author
Yes, the sound has it for this one, I see. And this one which I'm trying to parse:

31 Northern Dutch settler hides blunder (5 ): ?O?E? ( BOWER )
( DEF Dutch settler, but "hides blunder"? )
31 the answer is ***, a silly mistake
N(orthen) inside (hides) Boer, Dutch settler
Automatic edit of word which also has a vulgar meaning
But you can see the answer by putting "n" inside Boer
Question Author
Ok, I see it! In fact, I paused for a long time on that word with the n.
Thanks again!
I am almost there on this real stinker of a crossword
Struggling with the parsing of 34 A which seems to be DODOS. But why? i can see they are extinct birds....but the other part of the clue?

And 34D. I have DR?K?
clues please, John
34 drek means rubbish
I can't parse dodos either :(
OK just got the parsing for dodos.
Dos a Dos (dance) minus SA (sex appeal - otherwise known as IT !
29a should read as 'Italian' rather than 'Spanish'
trying to parse 21d which I think begins with L. Hint appreciated.
begins with K
anagram (r)u(n) a risk
I see the light now. Thank you
I'm still in the Slough of Despond!
