My brain just can't cope today! I think 1A is Depend, and 1D is Defied, but I cannot see the link with the alternative cryptic clues. Can you explain, please? 1A= Rely on (Notes writer going to Germany, to be sure) 1D=Flouted (Resisted being made an object of worship I rejected)
Usually I can work these out, but today is hopeless! Many thanks to any clever, helpful person!
