Seem to be in a pickle at the centre of this one. For 34a with its reference to sauce I was going for KETCHUP ... which suggested 26d "come to grips with weightlifting equipment" would be TACKLE. But my ketchup was stymied (?can you stymie ketchup??!") by 31d "outstanding university, one occupying new accommodation" where I'd gone for UTOPIA. That's obviously wrong. Can anyone unscramble this for me please?

unpaid for the last one.....outstanding
u university
pad accommodation

I for one
n for new

You are okeydokey right up to the end!!!

Outstanding is the definition with ref to accounts!!!

All the best Nice to meet you

THEA(O)

i've recycled my paper, but from memory, ketchup and tackle are both correct.
jack Ketch was an executioner/hangman

Thanks, all. Wasn't as far out as I thought.
