Comments on the clue
1.Offensive and puerile, as well as poor technically
2.Good clue, but I would have given more points if a different synonym for 'strumpet' had been used.
3.'starts to entertain regulars' would have been better
4.What a shame that this didn't read "…starts to entertain regulars". First rate other than, for me, unsound indicator of first letters.
