Also liked the BIPOLAR clue, because my work takes me to these places – was surprised that Brummie didn’t opt for some play on mental problems though (i.e. bipolar disorder) – would have been a great anagram indicator…

Thanks for the extra clarification – think you’ve got it spot-on.

Remove “um” from “rum” to get R. “love” is AMOUR. So we get A(R)MOUR.

1D A “carpenter” is a CHIPS. The HOP comes from “bound”.

The one that I don’t follow is 11A CHAIN MAIL – how does this come from:
Union post for defence against strikes (5,4)
