8d cracked up. It could be the death of you (4) ?t?e. Letters could be wrong as looks like it should be stun.

Yes, Stun is nuts reversed.

Then need help with 12a. Cold uncertain place lacking final scale. (5) I had Chile but if nuts is right then the letters are c?I?n
Can't see the answer

How did you parse Chile?
What about cairn? Which I can't parse!

BTW if you use capitals your i and l don't get mixed up.

Didn't really Chile-cold and al so a place. Tenuous I know. No I can't see why it would be acorn. Thanks for the tip will try to remember. Also need help with 9a see partner carrying line for criminal. (7) L?w?i?e. Lawlike If so why

lo w l ife

Of course thank you

In crosswords cold can just be a C.

I think 8d (cracked up) is STAB making 12a CLIMB (scale) but I need help with 6d Got COUNTRY as second word but struggling with first word!

Stab does look better and bats can also mean nuts!
It's fen country answered on other thread.
