My only possible answer for 27/24 ac doesn't fit the theme. Could someone help with an explanation please?

What is the clue, letter count and any crossers for those of us without the crossword please.

they fit together the other way round - i.e. 24a first, then 27a
I think you will see what the answer is when you put them together this way

Still can't see it but will take your word for it! Thanks

As the title says 'two in a ROW'

Think London.

How about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotten_Row ?

I didn't want to spell it out so bluntly.

Thanks, had never heard of it so really did need it spelled out. The only place I knew with that name was a maternity hospital in Glasgow and that was only colloquially, it was the name of the street I think - probably named for less glamorous reasons than the London one.

The title of the puzzle is "Two in a row" - consider the play on words. 24 ACROSS= ROT and 27 has to be TEN = ROTTEN ( Think of a place ROTTEN ROW ( two in a row). Also, for the other queries, think Shakespeare, birds, water...

I seem to have gone astray somewhat with the theme of water...
Anyhow, I just want to corroborate a few of my answers:
ACROSS:
34: ENSUE?
41: STUMP?
DOWN:
29: MEW?
37: COPE?

Thanks for any clarification!
