Comments on the clue
1.This really needs a ? like 19
2.Some indicator for cryptic meaning in wordplay would be ideal
3.The use of 'cockney' to indicate 'Bow' seems much fairer to the solver than 'London-based' in 19. Excellent.
 
Comments on the competition
1.
To me the clues which combined a good surface story and a well- disguised definition with fair to the solver word play were: 28 20 50 19 and 35 in that order of preference for the award of points. A very nice selection of clue types.
