14a What I've done with posh penny at uni is shrewd(5,2) is clued up i.e shrewd but isn't there duplication of up? Posh penny is up, at uni is up

[Mamyalynne]

I think he's been a bit over exuberant and crammed too much wordplay into the clue.

What I've done - (I've) clued
Posh -U Penny - P

[vetuste_ennemi]

clued [by setter] + U+p

[vetuste_ennemi]

U+p = "at uni"

[Mamyalynne]

That's what Herbage means, two references for 'up' - both aren't needed.

[Togo]

I had what I've done=clue+D(posh penny)+Up=at uni(versity)

[Mamyalynne]

Interesting

Why is - D - Posh penny

Old penny, yes.

[dannyk13]

IMO uni is superfluous

[herbage]

Thx all

[Togo]

The "posh" say up for going to uni. penny=d "posh" d Up.

[Mamyalynne]

I know 'up' means at University.

I read your parse as D = Posh penny.

I may have misunderstood what you meant.

Still think he's got carried away with the clue, but the answer stands.
