17a tense following gets on ?G?I?ST
I have against, but can't parse it.
29a Valley girl, extremely tender G?E?
I have glen. gl= extremely GirL, but not sure of en.
Help appreciated

17,
Gets is "gains"
T for tense.
Not sure where the "a" comes from?
Against is "on".

I wonder if the clue should read "A tense following gets on"?
That would account for the missing "a"?

That's great, Rusty! The a must be from the first a in the clue.
Thank you.

Thanks, elle. You are right. Our posts crossed.

Glad to help, Mags!
Sorry, I did not twig the "a" was part of the clue!

I think I may have it, Mags.
Glen for valley.
GirL extremely is GL.
Tender is EN
EN is the abbreviation for Enrolled Nurse.
A nurse is a tender.
Glen looks good?
