21d Lecturer stopping to deliver article (6) C _ A _ S _
I think this is CLAUSE (article) and Lecturer is presumably "L", so is "cause" a synonym for "to deliver" I can just about see it - if something causes pain, it delivers pain.....but I need re-assurance.
11a - This is a themed question, and the clue needs re-writing eo add missing words - but I have solved the theme so the re-written clue is
11a Sang about rubbish outside will end in fire (7) T _ I _ L _ D
Presumably TRILLED (sang) - about= reversed Dirt(rubbish) around "(h)ell: / or (wi)ll + (fir)e
Neither appeal
I can't find a direct synonym anywhere. But 'Cause' is a direct synonym of Induce. And Induce is a direct synonym of Deliver.
So I'm quite confident your parse is correct. :-)
Thanks again Klaz - I am confident with the answer anyway and I am OK with the parsing (I think). To me the parsing is the main enjoyment I get from a cryptic.
