Oh dear, not so much a DNF as a DNS! After first read through I only have one in, so I came here to see if it was as difficult as that suggested. Will have to come back to this one later with a fresh head.

Slow start.

I would spell the two definitions at 7d differently, but Chambers allows the wrong one!

btw if I have 1a right it's rather strange - do we not have an editor?

Not the clue as such, Quisling. Spoiler - look back at last Thursday

Well, completed, but with 8 not fully parsed. I won't go into them all, but one question: is the 7th letter in 8d valid?

Hi Chris, I had to look that up myself, but it’s in Chambers . I don’t know where it is used, perhaps on maps or place names?

Well remember re 1a, I had completely forgotten and it was only two days ago!

I’ve just spotted a theme!
I think this might be a milestone puzzle for Enigmaist.
Look for three repeating letters!

Well I am very much not enjoying this...DNF on Enigmatist's last Prize offering and think I'm heading for the same outcome here!
