Comments on the clue

1.	Needs a second anagram indicator
2.	SAVING not the same as SAVE?
3.	Needs second anagram indicator as letters of AN ANGLER not in order in the fodder
4.	Clever – 'saving' here needs to be read as 'bar'. Very good.
5.	clever but it doesn't indicate one of the two anagrams involved. Needs TWO indicators: anag minus anag.
6.	Almost excellent, but for me needs a second anagrind I'm afraid
7.	Really good clue. In my top eleven and bidding for number one. Made it.

My favourite clue was 50 because it seemed to have it so neatly wrapped up in a clue that read with fluency.
