Hi Chap(esse)s,
I seem to be exceptionally thick this week. I'm far from convinced by my answer to 7A (my answer could be a fear of a bubble-filled chocolate bar) and I'm stumped by 1A.
Any clues please?

Bees, can't help because I have exactly same problem. Will wait with you for enlightenment!

Hi Bees and Molly
If you replace the E with a C it will give you the right answer . Is this any help ?

Also, 12d is another word for refuse (the type that you put on a heap)

*typo 1D

Durrr....thinking.......not there yet.......

Further clue: Vertigo ?!
anagram : a Cairo + P (Portugal) hob (hot spot)

1d the penny has dropped. (1d = penny, that's supposed to be a joke). 7A still baffled.

Thanks a lot (yet again!) jazz girl. I looked it up, not a word I was familiar with.

You'd be fine climbing Everest then, Bees !
