If the answer to 7d is ANTITRUST then the answer to 16a can't be STOUT because the U in 7d is the 3rd letter in 16a.

Hope I didn't mislead. It's not a crossword I get here in Oz.
Cheers

Something pressing below hip's rising - I think it's 'Insurgence' or 'Insurgency' (Rising) but can't see how it's parsed. Also,....

I run eg cold tap, resolved to damage shower - PRICE TAG (I think) but struggling to see the Def.

hip = In.....hips = ins pressing =urgency

anag eg tap + I +R(un) + C(old).

well thats my guess.

Hi Busby, thanks for that. With the second one, I see how it's parsed but can't see how 'Price Tag' equates with 'Shower' - what am I missing?

maybe it's not shower as in rain or wash but as display.

Yes, I saw that but it still doesn't seem right. I doubt if any thesaurus gives 'Shower' and 'Price Tag' as synonyms. There must be more to it.

damage is slang for price.
eg, what's the damage, john? = how much is that please?
