18 Across in Wednesday's London Evening Standard - 'Dashed (6)'
In case I got one of the others wrong, the D is from goD, the A is from Average, the T is from perverT, the E is from teE, the D is from aDo. I'm least sure about PERVERT.
Brilliant! I was thinking of the other meaning of 'dashed', i.e. 'his hopes were dashed', and 'dashed' as in dots and dashes. The 'fast meaning never even occurred to me.
