Comments on the clue

1.	Poor boy was new to me, but makes for a good misleading surface here.
2.	Lovely smooth surface
3.	Good surface but 'poor boy' too obscure, needs a DBE indicator at least.
4.	I liked this – although I've only ever seen them called "po boys". Is the definition a tad too obscure?
5.	Good surface, but defining 'submarine' as 'poor boy' is like defining 'robin' as 'chaffinch' (similar but different).
6.	Very nice surface
