Any ideas for the wordplay in 11 down and 31 across? I often find the short words are the hardest.

11D evap-oration

Thought the other one might just be The Governor as in father and takes place(is)

31ac pa + is

Thanks Ixion. (Sound of penny dropping)

...and Peterm. Make that tuppence)

Help with my last 2 would be much appreciated:

26d Bar that handles sherry bottles: ??ss

25a: part of school fashion? It may be seen in navy cords: houselines?

handLESSherry bottles
yes house-lines

thanks sudokolover - I don't often miss the hidden words

Another leisurely one. Only one question: For 27d, Sandy's awl; changing this will make him a club for ball game (4), I have stob. I assume that the rearranged letters form a Scottish athletic organization or something. Am I right?
