It's one of Goliath's tricks.

Surely in 13a there has to be an indication to remove the first letter? Also, have never liked 'perhaps' as an anagram indicator - 'strange' or 'unusual' would have worked better in this clue, imo.

As Mamya said, it's one of Goliath's favourite tricks & a legacy of the dreadful (IMO, I know I'm in a minority) Araucaria & his "let's make the rules up as we go along" style.

With apologies to Mike for the extra traffic :-)
