Hi Pam,
You need to split those six letters as 1,3,1,1

Hi pamd
13d goes 1,3,1,1,4, with the 3 being "do" in a fraudulent sense.

Thanks, jono and chrise: makes perfect sense. I wasn't splitting it up enough! Another clever clue.

All done but I stared at 5 for 24hrs! I couldn’t get past M for Medic initially. Also I had the last letter of 18 wrong. The definition works with an S at the end, and the N is then in the middle of a completely different “filthy place”! But I couldn’t work out why N on its own was “20% of large delivery”. Because it isn’t! Thanks all for sorting that here. Enjoy your Sundays and Bryson and Rory have a fantastic ding-dong this evening.

Finished last night , enjoyed this prize found it easier than recent weeks but with some clever and intricate clues. My first one in was 16a a write in. Agree traverse may not be the usual verb but I think the double definition is beautiful.
LOI was 19d because being a cricket fan I was on wrong track..
There are a number of CODs 16a, 21a,20a and 5d ( because my daughter in law is one) .
If this is a special anniversary for Brendan — very best wishes and thank you for sharing it with us.

21a is apparently the original author of the commonplace 12a.
