I have found this the hardest puzzle for weeks! Even though I now know the answer to the two clues above, I still don’t understand fully. If you have time, can you explain please?

Is something costs a lot of money (silly money) it can be said to cost a bomb

Dotcommer - one doing business online

Can I add this one, please? We too found this puzzle v diff.
43 ac: Norwegian lake you can evidently cross by car? (5)
We thought it might be BROAD (B-road) but that would be for Norfolk, not Norwegian! Surely not...

Thanks anyway.
