Only got 1 - means well.
Great clues Jolan.

I only got means well, as well. Thought of In cognito for 5 but don't think so
Great fun, thanks Jolan

Hi all. Tony, P@ (good on yeh), Ari Andyc' Jazzy and HelenB. AriNo. 3 may not be a term used in your neck of the woods. It's not EMBROO because a youngster would have been one IN THE PAST, he might not YET be this.

I'll leave it for 10 mins more and then present my solutions. Most of 'em have been solved. LOL bi anagram?

Sorry to have missed you out Rosalind. Thank you for your kind remark.

So is 5 IN ANAGRAM?

1. A quarter of the poor altogether without real representation - GHETTO? (altogether without real - anagram)
2. Too controlled for an unsuccessful person (4-3)- ALSO RAN? (all so ran?)
3. Youngster may not yet be one - SHAVER? (Definition of youngster etc?)
4. Beastly dandy actually has good intentions (5,4)MEANS WELL (Mean (beastly) - swell (dandy)
5. Continued unnoticed? (2,7)
- In advance? (not confident about that one)

Just noticed solution to 5- Slaps forehead!

bi anagram; in anagram lol. AB has em all except one and now I see he's got no. 5. It really is a 'forehead slapper', eh AB?

Jolan, you always produce marvellous clues and thanks again, but number 5 stands as one of your best.

Well AB! From you, that's a compliment indeed. Not quite deserved.

Just for completion. here they are:-

1. anag (representation) of ‘altogether’ – ‘real’ = GHETTO = poor quarter
2. too = also; controlled = ran (ran a business); = ALSO-RAN = an unsuccessful person (C.O.Dict)
3. (cryptic) SHAVER = a youngster
4. mean swell = MEANS WELL
5. ? = what is it? Answer: It’s AN ANAGRAM
