[Blodwyn]

Thanks Glasman. I assume 21d is NEVER although I can't see the wordplay

[glasman]

Yet - even
run - r

Around

[Blodwyn]

Thanks again Glasman

[Lupton]

Can anyone explain the wordplay? why VEGAN?

[shooty]

veg is at the front with A (an)

[bigmac24]

But why is veg at the front ?

[shooty]

A (an) particular diet (vegan) for one in front (VEG)an

somebody who eats veg(tables) might be classed as a vegan

[Mamyalynne]

I thought...

EG -For(example)
in
VAN - in front as in (Vanguard)

[bigmac24]

Thanks mamyalynne, that makes more sense. Didn't understand shootys explanation at all. I know what a vegan eats, I just couldn't understand why VEG meant at the front.
