| I thought the strain of 13 letters showed in several of these clues, but there were some flashes of inspiration. By far the best, I thought, was clue 42, where 'hols abroad' was particularly neat: 5 points. 4 points for clue 5, a very serviceable &lit. 3 points for clue 28, in which 'Air France flights' was very clever, although the overall construction is a bit ropey. 2 points for clue 12, another respectable attempt at an &lit., and 1 point to clue 35 for the cheeky 'bar of Rover's Return'. |

| Few entries managed to convince in both definition and surface reading. My winner 32 may not attract the wider support it merits for lack of (say) 'loss(2) = loess' in the explanation. My top five are 32,12,46,20,26 |
