Also for you Zardoz: your two earlier queries, first 26a - the answer is a type of cloth made in Austria, which has given its name to the coats made from it.
39a The answer means public - open. The first four letters are a cricket term,, + tango!

Thanks AJT, cricket still baffles me, even though played it in NZ many years ago.
Had 26a, meant 28a - the grid is very pale.
Got the LUNT & the church, but Banff is a park on the BC, Alberta border. Eh???
Filled the grid couple of hours ago, just not happy with six clues with funny bits. Was responding to your mail.

Banff is also a place in Scotland, which takes us back to the need for a English/Scottish dictionary,
The poor print-out was obviously universal - I needn't have changed my cartridges!

Eager (8d, alternative spelling of eagre) is a (tidal) bore, not a dam. I must confess I found this puzzle something of a (non-tidal) bore. No matter how many times I dance round the maypole, I can't see the connection to the unclued lights as anything other than feeble.

Thanks Bathtub - I realised my error as soon as I saw it onscreen, and too late to correct it. Only recently watched a programme about the Severn bore, too.
