29a Banana (one on hand) - 'ban' + 'ana' (gossip; anecdotes)
23d Durbar (public levee; reception) - 'Dr' (round) 'urba(n)' (of city, cut short)
46d Fettes (school) - 'f(ine)' + 'sette(r)' (I, up, shortly)
My usual plea for help in understanding a clue. Irregular mass of ice blocks one in Chamonix. I have u?e?e?. So uneven is irregular. Un is one in Chamonix. But how does the mass of ice and even get together.
I feel so feeble still needing help but there we are. I do!

Hi Steven, hope you're keeping well?

Uneven - 'neve' (mass of ice, blocks) 'un' ("one" from Chamonix)

I am very well thank you sir. I hope you are too.
Neve is new word for me but obviously one to file away in my developing crossword list.
As ever sir I am very grateful to you. You are so generous in your support!
Steven
I'm well thanks & happy to help - never "feel feeble", we all have days when an answer simply won't click for us :-)
