It's ok, roof, your earlier reply is there :-)

Something odd is happening on this thread - the most recent post (often roof's!) isn't showing on the thread list.

28 of 23? Somethings gone wrong!

A difficult one this week, still stuck in the top right corner. Any hints on 12 ac (Light in Greece, not entirely great) :I have H------, or 6d (Present finally wrapped up, also peel off sticker), I have -----T---.

Another stupid clue!
An old word for (part of) Greece, truncated, around a type of lihgt,, meaning (loosely) great....

btw the T is wrong

12ac an abbreviation of light (on the spectrum) in almost Greece
6d. Brand name, anagram of two words plus a final letter

Well I'm stuck in the bottom right. 17d, Old socialist, Spooner's Napoleon X. I have T?N? ??N? and can't think of any combinations of Ten and King or Pink that would give me am old socialist. Then 18d, two beats for number one, perhaps. S?A?? ?I?. And 25ac, so-called trees, those found on the coast line, A?A???S. I can make a case for Acacias but get no help from that for the other two. I await enlightenment.

17 is an actual person from a few years back. It's a Spooner clue - what was Napoleon's nickname?
18 two words for a strike that give a best selling record, perhaps
25 the first A is wrong
