I'd say that equates to honour. 1999 edition of COED has a definition for lustre: glory or distinction. I’d say that equates to honour.

I'm not a child! (5) As you say, the wordplay is obvious, I took it to be that a "notch" is a degree on a scale. Andrew, 25D must have a small typo, the paper has

The online version has the clue as "W has a degree? I'm not a child!" and the answer seems to be NOTCH, with very obvious wordplay, but I don't see the definition. Is there a misprint or am I missing something obvious? 8dn - it looks rather as if "daughter" is doing double duty as part of both wordplay and definition; otherwise the def is just "thought to have charisma etc.." which is less than totally satisfactory. I also made quick work of this one, after struggling more than usual with both Rufus and Araucaria so far this week. What’s going on with 25dn? The online version has the clue as “W has a degree?

I know 'ISINGLASS' from the curtains of the surrey with the fringe on top ['Oklahoma!']. I think it's also used to pickle eggs. I wasn't altogether happy with 8dn: there didn't seem to be a definition - unless it can be called an &lit? My quickest solve ever, I think!

It acts to clear the beer by carrying the yeast to the bottom of the container. 27ac was enjoyable.
