Thanks Jono. Not Tramp's finest.

I am still struggling with the NW corner .... is 3d a golfing term? 1d seems to have only one obvious answer if my crossers are right, but I can't see any connection with "secretary". Help please?

3d yes, golf. stiff as a noun rather than adjective.
1d 2 letter abbreviation for a secretary

Hi Neville,

3d - Yes, definition is "dropped a shot"

1d - 2 letter "secretary" (a common acronym) + 4 letter "reveal" + A - definition is "bit of leg" (literally)

Thank you Chrise and Brendan 👍

Thanks Neville - like you, I found the top half much more difficult that the bottom.

I have filled in these answers, but unable to parse them from the clue. Can someone please explain...
14a) Another word for irony
26a) An official in some higher education establishments. Not sure how the "seller of cooker" bit fits in.

14 parses 2,4
26 no - def. is seller

Hi Mikey,

14a - 2 letter acronym meaning "it" + 4 letter "bore"

26a - No, I think you might have this wrong - 4 letter "cooker" missing first letter/"ring" + 2 letter "con" + 1 letter" rector" - definition is "seller"

Rocky - have you come down off the ceiling yet? 😂
