        Never heard of 7a, lucky the anagram wasn't hard... I felt like some of the container-anagrams (like 2d and 12a) could be tighter, but its fine... and you genius constructors don't need any "advice" from a dumdum like me... clearly I'm suffering from a delirium of adequacy, please dr send me a cure

          Ha, 7A perhaps unfairly gamed towards a UK audience! And you're right about being tighter, I'll almost always take a nice poetic turn over absolute economy of language for the fun of it. After all, this is meant to be fun... right?!?
