Many thanks

The clue isn't "Slake" is it? - Sate

[dannyk13]

sate - if slack should be slake?

[Bernie]

The clue given is Slack (4) s?te.
I was wondering is there a site called Slack e.g. like Google, what's app etc??

How sure are you Bernie of your other letters?

[Bernie]

I'm pretty sure as I have checked them with someone who does the same crossword.

[Lie-in King]

What are the clues that give the answers for the letters you have?

[mallyh]

if the s is wrong ...late

[Bernie]

12d Show press(5,4) I put in glass case(this is where I got the's' for 18a.
19d. Woven fabric with diagonal ribbing (5)??i?l. I put in Twill(this is where got the't'.
19d The evening before (3) Eve
So I end up with s?te.
I am open to correction on any of these answers.

[Captain2]

12d Not sure where you get 'glass case' from, Bernie
would have thought 'something iron'? Steam iron?

[Bernie]

There is always one in this xword that gives me a headache.
I thought of steam iron also but 24a is definitely 'Glen of Aherlow'
I would have heard of a glass case as a press to display perhaps trophies. China, glasses etc.

[Etch]

Which 's' in 'glass case' gives the 's' for 18a? If the second one, could 12d be 'medal case'?

[Bernie]

I have decided to give up on this crossword.
To put in medal case I would have to change so many.
Thank you all for your perseverance.

show press is a new one to me but maybe its right if your locality is Scotland or Ireland.
Maybe setter meant shoe press?

I googled slack and came up with this definition:
'Slack is a new way to communicate with your team. It's faster, better organised and more secure than email'
So I'm taking a chance and putting in Site.
