| 2. A swimmer is put right back into the drink : 5 points, good surface reading, nice play on "drink". 10. Fish in batter, decapitated and fried : 4 points, another good surface reading, with clear and reasonable anagram and removal indicators. 26. Offensive artist displays fish : 3 points, nice clue for TET, British clue for artist is so common in cryptics to be something we Yanks should understand. 22. Lawrence's skill returned with Spenser's plant : 2 points, surface reading is a bit obscure, but TE + (ART reversed) was a nice change. 40. Up late waiter? Not pilau, we ordered fish : 1 point, very clever anagram and removal operation, but I don't understand the intended meaning of "Up late waiter?" - strained. |
