I think I've finished but I can't see how two of the answers are made up:
49A Vehicle excise duty current; I have TAXI. I can see the tax bit but why the "I"
44D Medal meeting with Queen giving out the gold for religious duty. I have OBEDIENCE (the "i" comes from "TAXI" but I can't figure that at all. Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks
prev Mutual exchange produces dots on letter. 6 letters

44d medal = OBE, meeting with queen = audience, remove au (gold) from that

Many thanks for that Jumbuck. I've never seen the "i" thing before. Is that why switches are often marked "I" and "o"? It's good to know that I am not too old to learn something. Happy New Year
