7d Manger
8d Frankincense
11d Home
15d Dashed
16d Gold
17d Kiss
18d Noel
19d Skates or Skated

I think Skates works better. But it's a bad clue.

Hope this may help.

What is going on here? Why provide most of the answers to a quiz?

Hix51

19 down bugs me; if you break the clue down and the answer is "Skates", then the rest of the clue following "Bladed footwear" is redundant. If the answer is in the anagram of "...desk at...", then that makes it "Skated". If that is the case, then what does "...the entrance" add to the clue??

I’m not sure 16d is GOLD. The clue is ‘Precious metal OR ...’ so if Gold is the answer wouldn’t that be like saying ‘Thinly sliced and seasoned fried potatoes OR crisps’ ? They’re both the same thing.
