32 Taivers, anagram . I think it's the I that gets dropped*

36 Bremen - loses the B

I've no longer got my copy, this is from memory. 

8d sh(t)chis --yes!! (anagram dishcloths - old)

36 (B)remen

bore (had - o(ld) = bre + men (fellows)

I am glad NAC provided 32d as I couldn't remember that one! I also  had Ta(i)vers

Question Author

many thanks jj and nac, still stuck on:

31d coloured glass well filled with liquor s--te-

37d used trail uncovered to find unfurnished inn -er-

(i'm supposing hopefully 11d is ends and 40d pele) 

not too worried about endgame - I can see the pest, but not the bottom line

31 Smalto

37 Serai - from the inside letters of 'uSEd tRAIl'.

40 D was Pelt, (I hope - from Spelt).

Question Author

Many thanks again Nac, mostly not words I knew- but will I know them again? Relieved to see bottom line with your help and find out how the penny dropped.

Quinol, glad I/we could help. Sometimes, but not always, the new words stick in my mind - I've occasionally needed them again.
