19a AMATEUR - Expectations initially = E, a mostly seasoned = A MATUR(e) => A MATeUR

14d cargo cuLt

[carmalee]

I don't really understand the answer bibblebub (bear in mind I'm quite thick) get the burden part and get the esoteric religion and student bit, but I've never heard the phrase cargo cult - thank you will go and google it now.
Sandyroe - thanks to you too.

[bibblebub]

burden = CARGO
student = L, and put this in...
snub = CUT

I'd never heard of a cargo cult before this either.

ah - not just me then, however I would never have got it by deduction so without your help would still be getting splinters from scratching my head - found a lot on google about it and will now be able to converse reasonably knowlegably should the subject arise in conversation. stay well - txs again
