I am unsure of one answer, would welcome any enlightenment,
23 D. Country's leader eager, lacking energy (7) e?press
I can see 'empress', which would fit 'country's leader', but I don't see the 'lacking energy' part.

Yes, but over too soon.
I have a bit of a prob with 18A.
I have the answer and definition, but don't understand how 'third of a mile' gives the first 2 letters.

I didn't fully understand 18 A either - I thought I was missing some subtlety or other.

I've just looked up 'li' - it's a Chinese measurement, for about a third of a mile.
