Best one for a while - particularly liked 18D - can anyone confirm the meaning of STUM(stew or something similar?) in Chambers?

Thanks

Thanks peterm - but was hoping it could mean "fume" as in 1a stum(p)?

Ixion - just looked at the clue again. In this context, it means "to fume (eg a cask of liquor) with burning sulphur".

Hi Rosie

(G)reek - y is used in maths as a variable - Shakespearean word for "foul"
