There was discussion here yesterday about 18 D - Press Up fitted the wordplay but there was no real definition.

Any letters for 24a please?

[fiction-factory]

I want 24 to be EUR(ope)ASIA but can't think what the 8 letter bit would be

[donny48]

eurasian landmass ?

[donny48]

eurasia not eurasian

[dannyk13]

24a.This clue was in the Scotsmen as:-

5 Area consisting of one and a half continents? (7)

[dannyk13]

Don't think it can be Eurasia which consists of two continents, not one and a half.

[Toorak]

It is one and a half - eur(ope) & Asia

[dannyk13]

good one Toorak.
