These 2 clues dont work in. Any Ideas?
8 down. Hit with a heavy blow. (8)for which I have poleaxed.
20 across. Former (9) for which I have erstwhile.
The w in erstwhile works out in the same box as the d in poleaxed,
everything else works out fine.

former might be preceding but that would leave 8D ending in e.
^ hit etc might be a present tense verb.

sorry the original letters for 20 across, e?stwh?le
and 8 down. p?lea?ed
erstwhile and poleaxed both look right then.
Are you sure you are looking at the grid correctly or have put theeh answers in the right boxes?
I don't understand why you are showing the w and the d if you say they clash.
Chriso, in your explanation for 8d, you've accounted for p, e, e, a, e and w
8d. is poleaxe ..... not poleaxeD ! It is only 7 letters.
Thud!
:-) All's well that ends well!
Grrrrrr
how did you squeeze the d in poleaxed into the grid?
The 8d clue does not connect at all with the 20a clue.
