Not the easiest words to clue on their own, let alone to join together seamlessly! I couldn't find the ideal clue; most had minor faults, a couple of examples being: 16 the word 'needs' is padding, and the adjectival 'very fine' needs a noun. 18 Is okay-ish, but the surface read is nonsense. My highest mark was 4, with some 2s and 1s. On the whole, disappointing.
