9a. Aloof group of workers drunkard mentioned (6) ?f?i?h

Is it 'offish' which fits with 'for keeps' ? Why workers?

25a. Building early and not originally in Corinthian style? (8) o?n?????

I want to put 'ornithic' in but am not convinced. I can see it comes out of Corinthian leaving 'an' but why early?

24a. Smack boy pinching a vegetable (9)

h?r?e?e?n

53a.Be upset with bank's credit but afford the finest clothes (4,3,3,6)

Should be grateful for any help then hopefully I can complete the rest of it!

Thanks to all. You're most helpful. I feel that I really should have got those myself and probably would have done eventually but life is too short! Now I must see if I can finish it off, 15 more to do.I did see horsebean but it was as two words so I discounted it early on. Must learn not to do that.
