[Vimto]

A wholesale job lot this morning I fear. Unsolved clues in every quadrant. 1 across. Clue: Something like a monitor screen initially unpacked again US manufactured (6). I have: ?G???A. I thought maybe IGUANA but can't quite see why. 3 down. Clue: Spot bar opening for Jonathan perhaps (5). I have: ??P?E. If the answer to 1 across is IGUANA then this solution begins with A so maybe APPLE but again why?16 across Will perhaps trade francs for lire (4). I have: S?L? I know there's a Will Self and maybe WILL can mean SELF but can't see where francs and lire come in unless they are L&F. 23 down. Clue: Passing appeal to head of state (5). I have O?ING so must be OPING or OWING? 27 across. Clue: Old judge working to follow French novelist (6). I have: ???E?N. Might be SIMEON although I had an idea he was Belgian. Lastly; 25 down. Clue: Indian address of gentleman one's put down (3). I have: S?? the last letter of this solution is the second letter of 25 down. Much help needed here please

[scorpiojo]

I don't have 23, sorry

[scooping]

iguana/monitor lizard

[Neveracrossword]

23 Is Oking - an ugly word, meaning Okaying. It's just O and King.

[scorpiojo]

Thanks, Nac :)

[scorpiojo]

Gide is the French novelist + on (working)

[remuera]

23d ok-ing (in the sense of approving) O + king

[Vimto]

Thanks scorpio and all.

[scorpiojo]

Thanks Vimto

Well, I'm also still stuck on last few: I can only think that 25d is SRI, without too much conviction; 3d has to be APPLE - jonathan being a type of apple - but again, I can't really parse this; and I have no idea about 24ac (Order coming from Strasbourg (4)) ending in O. :(

[shoota]

ASBO - anti social behaviour order - strASBOurg

[Captain2]

24a ASBO hidden in strASBOurg

Groan...... thank you, thank you.
And SRI ??

[frugalfred]

Indian title equivalent to Mr.

[Captain2]

3d Spot = DAPPLE bar/except opening = APPLE of which Jonathan is a variety

[shoota]

(S)irs reversed minus one 's'

[dafyddapgwilym]

I guess that'll have to do it. Thank you very much for help.
Didn't enjoy this one.
And so to bed......

[frugalfred]

Sir, but i drops to the end, i.e. ones(i) put down lower
