R has the same meaning in 9 different clues and MIGHT have something to do with valentine's day. Here is one clue.
7dw Stormy north tip of R (5).
- - o - -.
Again many thanks.

I think it might be 'rose' - for Valentines Day, but it's not helping a lot, to be honest.

7 down - 'thorn' - anagram of north and fits with rose

You're further ahead than me, then. I have the top right corner done and am stuck! Much harder than usual, I thought.

I think the preamble is wrong - R, may well be the same word but the meaning is definitely not the same throughout.

Quite apart from the meaning of 'R', I'm finding this utterly impenetrable...

13 ac. RNLI with four bad wrecks (10) _L_R___N_A

6 dn. Jolly threatening gannet? (4,6) D_V_ ______ Dive Bomber? If so why?

12 ac. Where to fin quick fix (4).

3. Have a little bit of meat, R maybe (4)

23. Inundate Cologne with R (5)
