Ed, re --
5. Adit is the entrance to a mine, tunnel, or off-tunnel (winze)
6. 2 ticks = 1 jiffy, so half as long as 2 jiffs
8. Mushrooms are also great when fried on their own in a white (flour) sauce -- and there's no need for garlic, toast, or eggs, either.

16. WAS rather than IS an active industry -- middle ages stuff
Hope this helps, and that some locals can answer the rest of your questions.
