I surrender! I can't work this out :
1a and 10d Lace re-worked in suit by couple having love and money without sex appeal (12,3,2,7)

Acceleration due to gravity

[hulio]

I'm stuck too - it's acceleration something. Don't undersdand the theme

[lloyd1e]

Thank you Kayakamina - faster than the speed of light as usual! I don't understand the theme either but will try to work on it now I have something to start me off.

[dzug]

Haven't worked it out yet but I assumed the other theme clues would be anagrams of this answer or each other - ie literally identical.

ICBW though

[kayakamina]

It will become clear. Come back if I can help. K

[lloyd1e]

Thanks

[porilo]

Has there been a misspelling in the compiler's name or it is a clue in working out the theme?

[maimai]

Well spotted dunno if a clue as I'm just slowly plodding through - but yesterday was his birthday - 86th it looks like. So happy birthday Mr Puzzle
