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

Similar to Campanilla's Lion Bar, how about Tiger Nuts, errrr.... perhaps not!!

Hi wombat, did I say surprised? I meant delighted.

re clue 15.unsatisfactory compromise.

I'm thinking Lizzyminto was on the right track with - (blank) Split.

trevor, Delighted???

I agree that lizzymintos suggestion sounds good
Is there a confection, an ice lolly I think, called a Raspberry Split? If something is unsatiafactory you might blow a raspberry.
