10a Spur - 'up' (turned, in) 's(enio)r' (exterior)
1d Nippy (Lyons Tea House)
3d Perspex - 'per' (for each) + 'spex' ("specs"; glasses, say)

[elliemay1]

^ //A nippy was a waitress who worked in the J. Lyons & Co tea shops and cafés in London. Beginning in the late 19th century, a J. Lyons waitress was called a "Gladys". From 1926, because the waitresses nipped (moved quickly) around the tea shops, the term "Nippy" came into use.//
