Feeling very foolish but can't find the first letter of unclued 43A, given that the other three are aty.
Help anyone?

Your 't' is wrong, sorry!

Thanks malone. Pocket was ringing all the right bells for 30D.

Have you sorted 30 D now? 43 A will be much more obvious.

I'm still looking at 30D after rejecting Pocket.

30 D is an old word, one I'd never heard of. 43 A is still commonly used, but not as a noun (which it is for this crossword). Hope this is of some help.

Thanks again. Would n be the last letter of 30D?
Apologies to other solvers for the obscurity of this exchange, trying hard not to disclose too much.

Yes, 30 D ends in 'n'.

As these are unclued answers we're discussing, I didn't think the lack of detail matter.

Yes. At the risk of sounding miffed I can't help thinking that Pocket is a better answer, being consistent with1 and 5D, don't you think so?

Sorry, I don't think Pocket's any better than 30 D - to me they're all just... (thematic word)s.
