Has become one of my favourites, and this one's a cracker. I have been stymied for several days on two last intersecting clues:
15d) Flap greeting overwhelming rule of descent (9)
I have A???T?I?E
and
18ac) Dawn's taking ages to cover the centre of Abergavenny (4)
for which I have ??A?
(While I'm at it
17ac) Frame opening demand of horrid letter (4-4)
seems to be BACK RENT, as I have ?A?K-?E?T, but it doesn't feel quite right.
Help. please!
