Some unusual synonyms in this puzzle. Chambers and Bradford's had quite a workout.
I have one loose end. I'll probably kick myself, but I can't see where the letter in 13a. shifts to.
I know what it is, and have the answer to the clue.

Hi Mattrom,

I'm glad I'm not the only one who found this clue particular challenging.

First 3 letters of the answer come from the first 3 words after the H has been moved (think of a game of poker) - you then put the H I in front of the A and move them both to the front of MATE (remember the preamble says spacings can change) this gives the next 4 letters and then you obviously know the final one.

I haven't explained this very well so please feel free to come back.

I should have said the first 3 words after the definition.

Ah! Thanks, Brendan. I won't beat myself up for not getting that one.

Thanks Mattrom, I didn't either-)
