My post at 2) should be qualified by a ? by the way. I don't have the crossword. Can't make any sensible progress on the 1st one sorry.

I think 'still demolished...' was Lilts (anagram of 'still') - I can't remember why! Would that fit with any letters you have?

I had EMUS for the big birds but can't for the life in me remember how I parsed it (if I did).

Nick, 'Muse' was the hedge and then the 'e' moved to to the front.
