Last one - 23D "Opening for pen friend up north" (4) L?P?. It has to be LAPP which is PPAL reversed, but how does that satisfy the "opening" part of the clue? Sorry if I am being more thick than...

My last one is 27a "Stiffness shown by Amber leaving arbitrary tribunal" (6) ?T?R?H. 'STARCH' satifies the stiffness element of the clue, but I can't work out the remainder. Forgive me if I'm missing...
