    Thanks for an entertaining cryptic. Help needed: 10A Definition? 2D "After wax"? 1A Definition? 12A Parse, please. 8D Parse, please.

      I could try... 10A: The definition is "One might not find a drink at a pub" meaning there is some overlap going on. 2D: Wax Lyrical is a British candle brand, Google tells me. 1A: The definition is "opening". 12A: Maybe an anagram (surprised) of N(o) and ILK (type of person(but that's not an exact match)). 8D: OK (fine) placed after ON (working) reversed (back).

        Thanks for your help. 10A I got the word play but I thought the definition was poor; that's why I posted the reply. Perhaps, "One might not TAKE a drink . . " would have been better. 2D I think there should have been some hint that it was a candle company, otherwise it is far too obscure; however, if the intention was "wax lyrical" meaning "speak effusively and excitedly", again, no hint was given in the clue. 1A I think "opening" is a poor synonym for "flue"; that's why I posted the reply. 12A The letters of the anagram must appear in the word play. 8D I totally missed this! Once again, many thanks.

          I think I have covered some of this in my answer above.
          In terms of the letters of an anagram needing to be in a clue, you are right. I the reason I have been doing this is because I had misread of clues I'd solved British newspapers, for example:
          "Light at night has upset these rodents (4)"
          Here, 'star' is upset to make 'RATS'. I had taken 'upset' to mean anagram, when it's actually a reversal indicator.
          Feedback is noted, and I will include anagram letters in the clues now !

          Thanks @dooimus for taking the time to reply!
          Thanks again for the feedback @pedagogue. Looking at this puzzle a few weeks later, I can see the lack of clarity with some of the definitions. I normally check the clues a few days after I've written them, but did have a chance to with this puzzle!
          Perhaps I would rewrite 2D as "Melodic, following wax in a phrase". Melodic is a straightforward synonym of lyrical, and "wax lyrical" is a phrase/ idiom.
          In a perfect world, 10A would be an &lit clue! Where the definition and wordplay are the same. Again, I'll have another think about how to construct it.
          1A does need a "?" to indicate that a flue is a type opening, but not all openings are flues.
          For 12A, 'N' is a valid abbreviation for 'no' - think checking Y or N on a form. Ilk is certainly a synonym for type, and I thought adding 'of person' would add clarity, but maybe not.
          And I think @dooiemus has covered 8D.
