G????Y

Platform - one for English in upper classes.

Gantry? Is that actually a platform, strictly speaking?

Yes, that's fine.

Yes, and the wordplay is - an instead of e in gentry

Will I ever get done with this confounded thing?

I???T
Gull - one I point out

?A???E
A coin's wasted here

Please, put me out of my misery

All I can get is an anagram, wadset, which apparently means mortgage in Scotland.

Idiot?

The two clues share an unch where I put the exclamatıon mark thus:

ACROSS: I.!.T
DOWN: .A.!.E

Stumped!

The 'e' is wrong in your second clue - the answer is Casino, anagram of a coins.
The other one is 'idiot'.

IDIOT! Oh the irony. *Holds head in shame* Thanks again Chips, and apologies to Sallyw. Actually, I had realised my mistake on the bus coming home, but who's going to believe me? Bah, I think I'll take up Origami instead...
