19 Lolly Pop

TREVOR. lIKE LOLLY POP!!. SOMEONE POSTED M&M'S.(sorry didnt mean to shout). for no.10 dont understand.
I still need no 15 unsatisfactory compromise. something split?? possible.and no 10.

Just got m & m\'s m being thirteenth letter!! doh!!

Lizzyminto, the 13th letter of the alphabet is 'm'

Hi Lizzyminto, I didn\'t get the M&M clue. Thanks to Campanilla and you for clearing that up.

Somebody suggested Galaxy for No.7(stars). Milky Way also fits.

re 15. unsatisfactory compromise. I see where you\'re going with -blah blah - Split. maybe something Drop?

Pear Drop?
Unsatisfactory - pear shaped
Take a drop - compromise

Thanks JimB I hadn't connected 'to earn the corn' but have since googled it, and sure enough its there in the idioms dictionary. Although I suggested Pop Corn for 19, I think Trevor's 'lolly pop' is a better answer.
I'm not so sure about no 6 though, Jonathan, how about Lion Bar?

I googled "eat the corn" - Imagine my surprise!

Hi
Could it be Lemon Drop - definition of lemon is 'something unsatisfactory'.
19. Revels - Rev (Father) + e(euro)l(pound)s (money).

trevor - I too googled 'eat the corn' and I can see why you were surprised. Maybe one day the definition will be used in cryptic clues....

SuzieM, I think Lemon Drop is better than Pear drop.
Jonathan should be pleased that all the clues have answers
