19Across And 9 Down

[Grandma64]

Last two clues and am stuck.
19 across ?I?L?T could be fillet?
9 down ?i?B?R could be fibber?
Help please.

Can we have the clues please?

19 A *** might well ... take up all the space (getting expandable trouser tops (6)

9 Head of Marketing replacing 'unknown quantity' in dodgy Brexit deal? (6)

I'm presuming they are from Private Eye (as your other two questions were); but, Grandma could you answer or confirm an answer without knowing what the clue is????

[Captain2]

^^^^^ missing word is ' b o n e r'

[Toorak]

Fill e t
Timber (deal) - anagram of bremit

[Captain2]

I am, of course, presuming I've got the correct Private Eye. No 734??

[Toorak]

The crossers fit the solutions so I’m sure you have :-)

[Captain2]

Thanks, Toorak. Wasn't in the mood to solve them myself, given how they were asked. (And I appreciate Grandma64 is a relative Newbie).

[Toorak]

Hopefully she will acknowledge you posting the clues for her

[Grandma64]

Thank you all so very much. Am very new to this and elderly so thanks for your kindness and patience. I will improve.

Aww.
If you're 58 or even 64, Grandma, you'd be classed as a 'slip of a girl' on AB.
Anyway, even a Crossword Master like myself took time to learn the do's and don't's.
It all makes sense in time. ;-)

Welcome Grandma! I was thinking the same, you're not elderly at 64!
