30d- Dad once lifted a lid (6) ???A??

just a guess panama - as in a hat or a lid??

Thanks scarlett I thought of panama but couldn't see the 'dad once lifted' bit?

I can't either Rosie! It was a stab in the dark! Are you any nearer the theme?

No sorry!

Another shot in the dark perhaps canope:
canope.
(Of the Br. canope).


1. m. archeological. Glass of the ancient tombs of Egypt, which was intended to contain the viscera of the mummified corpses.

It's definitely Panama:"nam" is an old verb form meaning "took" (="lifted")---given in Chambers.But I still see no connection between the 8 unclued solutions.I will give my versions (in order of appearance):
?t?tc?
t?p
?ea?e?
?e?e?e?t
shar?
flavour
?rov?n?e?
?add?e?
Can anyone now help in any way?

They are exactly what I've got greedykite but still we are no further on! Do you have (W)edge for 36d?

Edge is correct. And I suddenly see a connection between all 8:FLAT (stitch,top,headed,tenement,share,flavour,provinces,daddies)!!!BUT WHERE ON EARTH IS IT HIDDEN IN THE COMPLETED GRID? MUST FINISH THIS NOW BEFORE I "DISAPPEAR" IN JUST A FEW HOURS FROM NOW!!!

What about TACK? on the right, line 6 (FLAT is defo not in the grid)
