Please help. Think I have made a great mistake somewhere. Cannot get the bottom of the xword to work. I have the letters shown below but nothing seems to gel.
22a ?c? ??c?? - crush thick pieces lacking the suitable tools for it? Ice yacht seems silly.
26a ?l??? r???t?o?s - Gory tales by brothers perhaps. Thought it was something to do with the bros grimm -but obviously not.
20a -??y ?e?e? - Cowards work makes your eyes water Noel I assume but the mind has gone blank.
18d - 6 letters but nothing there - tool owned by him acquired by church on line.
Not usually this thick - must be because the sun is shining.
