First of all a hearty "thank you" to all earlier solvers - I took nearly 3 times as long as normal doing this - would have ground to a halt on several occasions without going on the Forum.

STILL left with two -

31a After warmth, at first everyone tugs everyone else's blanket (4-2-4) ?A?L-?O-?A?L

is it tail to tail?

53a Helping seal off old area of Ireland (7,4)E?G?L?H ?A?E

English something?

Thanks

CORRECTION - 53a E?G?I?H ?A?E

English Pale - anagram of helping seal

OK got 53a - it's taken me all this time to figure out it's an anagram!

wall to wall

wall to wall

Thanks Chris - any joy with the other?

English pale.

A new one on me!

Thanks Chris and Mamya - Can't get the full wordplay; W + ALL + TOW + ALL - where is the "s" from "tugs"?

everyone tugs everyone else's.
'all tow all' as a phrase.
