Thanks a lot!

Out of interest, does a word in the clue tell you to take the outer letters of enema only or do you have to work that out for yourself? (If it's "horrid", does horrid always mean this?)

Another question:
could you tell me why "over half shunned pawnbroker's sign" (5,5) is "three balls". (It fits and the pawnbroker's sign is three balls, but my understanding doesn't extend further than that)
Hi spacechimp I have only just seen your post.

Re the pawnbroker's sign- an over is 6 balls so if half are shunned you get Three Balls.

Re 14a Enema was 'purged' (of the middle letters) leaving
E A.
