Thanks ianwil - that was one of my unparsed. Just 26a remains (if I've got it right - I have small thoroughfares),

Same here, Ianwil. I feel if Chambers has an entry annotated as “chiefly US” then the clue should probably include a US indicator.

I think the US indicator is MIT which is a US university ?

Chris, re 26, you have the correct answer. It’s a 3,4 phrase with the penultimate letter removed.

Thanks jono.

I agree about MIT being the indicator, but it's a bit left-field. I had no idea that the last 4 letters were a word in any language!

Yes re MIT. Kind of clever but I didn’t like it much (moan groan grump).

I've completely ground to a halt in the NE corner - is 8d partly an anagram?

Hi Neville, yes an anagram and two single letters.
