As very often I’m stuck in a corner. Help please anyone out there today! 42a: struggling lassie in Skye, coming from the east (6) there may be a misprint in the definition. I have ???si?

Jogomel, 'struggling' is just an anagram indicator, the definition is at the end.

...and no misprint.

Hi Jogamel,

It's a sraight anagram with definition being a Scottish word (hence Skye) for easterly

How on earth did I miss that!!!!!! So now please help with 40a: following partnership agreement, name common principally in France. Shame! 2 words (6) I have F??on?

Fi donc - French for "shame"

F(ollowing) + I do + N(ame) C(ommon)

Merci beaucoup Brendan!!!!

I enjoyed this and once again I’ve learned things as the theme was new to me.

Nice 😉

I suspect the 'theme' is new to a lot of IQ solvers!!!
