I'm still persisting as I'm determined this isn't going to beat me!
But I need some help!
8down Rising politician goes in to justify the future of France (6)
21 down Subaltern and his men lifted a weight(4)
35 across Topless lass, perhaps, and her lover turned over without one sharing a 'high' (7)
finally - 23 down (which I feel may be Isotherm?) A line used by meteorologists is different on earth (8)
Also can anyone point me in the right direction of the ten letter word to be written below the grid.
Otherwise I'm all filled in and highlighted - a miracle!!
All help VERY gratefully received
Thanks in advance
We're snowed-in here!
