9a is utensil. I was distracted by the letters you gave, which actually apply to 6d which is nostrum.

[retrocop]

A little confusion here.
9A is Utensil
6D. is nostrum.
You are getting a BOGOF here bryand??

[bryand]

Good morning Michaelmph an honourable draw with retrocop for 'Best Answer', what's your drink? Thanks to you both for your helpful answers.

[retrocop]

You're welcome bryand.Is that you finished for the day?

[bryand]

My apology for wrongly matching 9a clue with 6d letters, always look for a
BOGOF or any other bargain!!

[retrocop]

No problem.Don't blame you re BOGOF

[bryand]

Retrocop, I have just about finished. Stuck on 4 down and 28 across.

[retrocop]

Let us know if you crack them.

[bryand]

Retrocop, answers which I have are 4 down: CAUSES?
