Can someone please help me with the bottom-left hand corner ?
16d. One often accompanies Indian dad with reverse of abuse. (8) ??p?????
Thanks.

..... aw !!!! An hour without a reply ...... I've never waited that long without one from you lovely people before. ;o(

Poppa dum.

Thank you so much rusty. ;o)

Glad to help, Itsme!

And in the same corner....

33a. Early supper, dull one, including bit of both beef and veal ? (7) mea?te?

I'm guessing "meatted" - maybe matt(ed) for dull one with "e" from both beef and veal, or maybe something to do with "mead" + "tt" (old sup and dull supper reps.)

Not having a Chambers to hand is a hindrance :(

If anyone can enlighten, thanks...

Meat-tea/ Meattea - hyphens sometimes get missed out in crosswordland?

It will be 'meattea' - that's defined in Chambers as 'a high tea at which meat is eaten'. Chambers has the hyphen, I think the clue should have included it.

'Meatted' definitely isn't in Chambers.

Azed never includes hyphens in the clue, for some reason.

Awesome, many thanks. Chambers goes on my Christmas list...
