Thanks, NACW, the last time Fire was quite gentle, but a little less for me this time. The Unclueds are all falling into place except for 1a, but should be resolved as soon as I get the answer to this final clue:

3 Workers rubbish? Not to begin with (4) : ?N?S  ( ONUS )

(P) ants 

What makes you think it might be onus?

Thanks, Matakari - and glad we have all been able to help you so much.Like NMA, I can't see how you were getting Onus to work!
