L.A. (City) In(diana)
Spoo(n) + Sum(o)
Lain (put down) - 'LA' (city, before) 'In(diana)'

Opossum - 'o' (love; nil) + 'pos(t) + sum(o)' (shortly 'after' + 'wrestling')
.. I knew mine was rubbish ;o)

thanks gang !
LA-IN
Very grateful to Lie-in King for parsing of OPOSSUM, but for those who have done the puzzle, I have the solutions to 26 ac,
27 AC and 7 d by definition parts of clues only, but really cannot satisfactorily parse them. Many thanks.
26 Attitudes accepted by detective in force (7)
27 Royal officer completely losing head over queens (7)

26 Met (police force) around 'in' (accepted) + DS (detective)
27 (V)ery (completely) around Que, R (2 queens)
Hi Crypto, maybe start a new thread and post the full clues.
Oops..
crossed, ignore my comment
No, I should have said the same :(
Would do, Mamya, but thought I made my question quite relevant to the thread and also, find it a bit tedious having to sign out of website, sign in again in order to pose a question. Maybe there's a quicker way I haven't discovered?
If you were already signed in, you wouldn't have to sign out and back in to ask a question. Posters are asked, in the guidelines, to give full clues and letters placed.
Thanks, Scorpio. Will look more closely at this, but seems to me that 'enter your question here' box only appears on the page you get immediately after signing in.
If you click on 'Crosswords' now, do you not get an 'enter your question title here' box at the top of the page?
I do. And thanks for the tip.
Glad to have helped :)
