14a: Grist for the Stock Exchange, where small-time criminals traditionally ended up (6): *t*c*s. Can't be "stocks", shhhurely, can it?

Well, that's what I thought, but the repetition grates a bit, doesn't it?

I agree.
The forum is very quiet so no one else has responded. Maybe they will now this has bumped to the top. Others may have an alternative answer.

I can't really see any alternative, other than "sticks", and that makes even less sense than "stocks". Thank you for your reply, Jazzgirl.

I just googled "ock" in the urban dictionary and it is a derogatory term, as you will see if you do the same.
s (small) t (time) ocks
gives a triple definition

So, "stocks" it must be.......I don't like the clue very much, though.

20a One Cameron, interlinked with bung - "it's a cool thing!" A-L-M- My best guess is APLOMB but can't parse it.
