    Can anyone help me with this year’s Giant Holly Bough Crossword?
    I’m stuck on 2 clues...

    36 Across: Realize that you're wearing material? (6,2) _ _ _ _O_ ON
    (I thought of COTTON ON but I don’t think it’s correct. The second letter in this matches the third letter in 32D)

    32 Down: The front of a boat. (4) P_ _ _
    (This looks like a mistake in the crossword, I’ve only ever known the front of a boat/ship to be called the bow but the intended answer could be PORT, the left side of a boat)

    Prow is definitely correct for 32 down.:confused:

    Anyone got answers for 3 down and 8 down. are they "rames" and "Rinneen", respectively

    :D thanks for Clonmel.

    Think other one might be RAMPS (as in RAM and PS).
