Comments on the clue

1.	Afraid I can't make any sense of this.
2.	Two wordplays and no Direct defintion
3.	Nice idea but don't think having the definition as a homophone is quite fair.

Comments on the competition
1.
Not the nicest word, but ably dealt with by quite a few. The Ballance clue 10 is an awful clue to a clue and is singled out for opprobrium. 26 wins top slot with its clever introduction of the stern Frenchman.
