The clashes seem to be awry.

The obvious answer has D/B when an A is needed but other letters do give a word - however I see no connection with the theme.

Problem resolved!

[Neveracrossword]

Yes, it was very cleverly done.

Well, I am , as usual stuck at the end. I'm pretty sure I know the location (6 letters) but I've no idea where the first letter should go because I've only got four clashes!! I also need help with 8 down: Initially slaying with quip, cause of gag's halting? (9,2words) the changed letter is N so I assume Nag's halting TAND(D I think this is changed) CRACK. 29 down: Grey master in Gordonstoun knows fleet's in (5) The changed letter is T so I'm assuming it's grey maTter HA?NY
Any help appreciated!

[Neveracrossword]

8 D. Sandcrack - the S from Slaying +And/with+Crack/gag. (The S is the clash)

29 Harns, grey matter/brain. There's a clash, at the end, too.

[Neveracrossword]

Ripper, I forgot to say - the D/B clash is correct, vital to the location.

[Ripper]

Thank you Neveracrossword, so I assume I choose the 'foreign' location? But, it has the same fifth letter as the other one i.e. not a clash, unless I've got the wrong home location.

[Ripper]

Also it seems to produce some non-words?

Finally the penny has dropped! Thank you again Neveracrossword.
