fats bit is correct - the whole thing is an angaram of your answer(hopefully!) for B 7d
For B - chocolate box quality is the defn and 13d and 14d are anagrams of each other

Thank you. Haven't done any of those ten letter ones yet. Not sure what that's about yet. An explanation from you might help, Roslyn.
Could be Fats Waller and waterfall..
7d How are the words written? - that's the answer to A
The answer to B 7d - definition is forces (not the usual defn)
Both 18a 's are anagrams of each other - For A the definition is "from the antipodes"
gamms1 - tilly wanted hints NOT the answer!
Roslyn, please calm down dear its only a crossword!!!!
Some people ,like my son this morning, are not totally aware of how things are done so it may be better if you try and instruct and destruct ? What do think?
I meant ...not destruct...
You are a senior member here and we all look up to you for guidance..please?
Fair point Allan
I have the answers for 14a and 14b as given above
I also have the answers for 18a and 18b
but in cross b the anagrams of 14a and 18 fail to intersect correctly
What am I doing wrong please
Question Author
Thanks, managed to do 18 A & B
For 7d, can get past 'in italics' I've got: I????????u?
roslyn251254, I stated that he answer could be .....

Looking at my partial solution to the crossword thus far, 18a 1st part I think is Australian and the 2nd part is Saturnalia. So 14d 2nd part couldn't be Waterfall so I'll rethink this one...
thats my problem too
Tilly - you 're nearly there - try italicised - you've got the across clue back to front - it's Zeus - suez reversed
gamms1 - waterfalls is good but it fits in at 7d in B (defintion being forces)
Question Author
That's right Roslyn, I have! Thank you.
Is the other part 'club'
I've got BLOC? to fit with the down clue TRANSIENCE?
Correct!
Question Author
I'm getting there! For the second part of 4 down I have: The end of an era.
Could you give me a hint about the first part, please.
I have : A ??????? L???S
