A large number of decent clues this month with a wide variety of themes made it difficult to whittle down to 15 points. In the end I was resigned to ruling out clues containing extranneous words or with poor surface reading; even then the task wasn't easy. I particularly liked no 41's definition of "muggers" and 43's simplicity and brevity.
