Have come to a grinding halt - would appreciate any help.
1 D. Lie in bar with old member inside (7)
r---nc- (I can see 'romance' but have no idea why)
12 D. See me perhaps with something left? It's a smelly plant. (10) s--t----r-
Thanks.

A romance is a lie.

1d romance
12d setterwort

Thanks - was just about to post that I'd got 'setterwort' (realised the 'me' in clue referred to crossword setter).

can you help with:
2d Striking sounds up in quiet mountain pastures SPL?TS splats??
8d Service clubs rejected place for reds O?EI? I don't 16a either so that doesn't help for the last letter of 8d.
Thank you for any help/explanations

Offie - Offlicence where you could buy red wine. OFFI(C)E

Thank you aceface - i had strafe instead of straff
