Parses for the above please.

Good to hear from you Whetstone, it been a while!

11a. ( labour ric[h] )*

Cheers Jono...duh I should've got 11. Thanks

18 CAN - container, held up by DIES - longs (I'm dying for a pint!)

1a anagram BRIBE, with IN inside WE (Mayfair postcode, for example), but I'm missing a B.

6 SAW - maxim, reversed, then source of Problem. Are wasps social workers?

I would parse 1a as WI (Mayfair) NEB (man over) IBBER (bribe arrangement)

Cheers chrise. I suppose wasps could be social workers, like ants and bees.

1a Mayfair post code is WI, man over is Ben, reversed, with anagram of bribe ?

I think Mayfair is W1 and man over is a reversal of BEN

Ah yes that makes more sense for Mayfair W1

Well done all - that's better. I do dislike clueing "man" to mean some random name, though.
