Thank you!
I’d finally figured out why 31a was spaceage on my own earlier and got a few other clues I should’ve got before, but was completely stuck on 1a and 1d and was convinced I must have a letter wrong for 1a and was triple checking clues etc going slightly insane- came here to ask for help and getting 1d finally made 1a click into place- finished!
Really couldn’t get either of those two at all til now.
Hence my other post checking answers etc!!
Thank you!
