Tommy T, you are looking for a cryptic representation of 9a "in the context", i.e. as in the quote, so it's not a representation of "practically worthless"

Thanks for that Finn.

Is 9a in the context of the song (i,e 2 words)or one word ( as per Chambers)?

Neither, you have to look for a three word phrase from the quote which specifies the two word meaning.

Ah! Got it.

Many thanks. I made heavy weather of that
(bit like outside my window right now!)

L am completely in the dark about the 11 letters to be highlighted having searched everywhere. My grid is complete and fully correct

sorry my last comment was not completed but I can truthfully say that although hints have been given I still have not had it !!!! Please help an OAP in dire need of enlightenment. Thank you in advance

Look for a 4 letter word inside a 7 letter one!

They are synonyms of FALL & LOVE

It took me a long time to get the last bit. Try the eighth row down.
