Re: Crossword - help
Mostly cryptic, though there is the odd "sensible" one. I was thinking it's either a plain seafood drink, of which I know none, or it's a word for plain made up from a seafood and a drink. I was thinking water but then the y came up, so I'm not sure now.

Re: Crossword - help
Mineral water. Hmmm. That's the y out the window though, and it's not hyphenated?? Not sure about the seafood connection.

Re: Crossword - help
Other clues.
Go at university and make it more lively (3,2)
Something up. Not sure. First letter would give the first letter.
Running the wrong way (11)
Mis-something most likely. I have the M and the s is probable
Correspondence from fast writer? (7,6)
Pretty sure this is express letter, which gives the first r
Seer was hotheaded? Nonsense (7)
E???A?? Eyewash maybe??
Remains with top-class pupil found on boat (8)
?T???A?? Possibly staysail, hence the y
The T?R are correct.
[edit] Wish I could scan it or photograph it but I have neither a scanner nor a decent camera
