Thanks again for your help Kilgore Trout. I should have looked more closely at the other two similar answers.

Still can't see how my answer to 4d, which is synonymous with the last two in the clue, and goes 2,1,4 (therefore 7 letters not 6), can be arrived at by removing a synonym for "section" from the first two words. Am I barking up the wrong **** ???!!!

(contd.) for Jolan & others who may not have the clue, the NORMAL clue goes:
"Plant reputed to be dangerous getting rid of section, in difficulties" (6, three words) (BUT THERE ARE SEVEN CELLS AVAILABLE!!!)

There is a gremlin at work here. The answer (2,1,4) needs to be entered normally to fill all seven cells available. Oh, and Chambers gives S = Section.

Many thanx, evman! I'd never heard of that one, of course!

Hi

I'm unsure as to what to do right at the very end. Are we supposed to remove some letters relating to the poem's things you'd be better without?

Please help!!

One really final q. : can anyone parse 14a completely? Letters 3 to 6 as an anagram of 1 wd in clue? Don't quite see it!
As for the "grid is better without...", I'm now assuming that's just a confirmation of what we've now done, but I may be wrong. Anyone?
