I'm pretty sure I've got the answers to the following - but, as usual, I can't understand the word play. Can anyone explain them?
21 across:Faint Welsh emblem? (4,4) FELL OVER ?
2 down: The English going to my home city (7) CORINTH ?
8 down: Reached high point of teaching: keeping student body away! (7) CRESTED ?
22 down: Checks climbing plant (5) VETCH ?
Sorry to be so thick!
Thanks in advance

21 across is, I think, keel over ie faint but also an anagram of leek. I'm as stumped as you are on the others!
