I think I've finished it without help however 1 query

13a Setter's initially unininspiring reflection in remark (6)
A?L?D?
Answer is allude. I understand though I am pretty dull the unspiring reflection but why setter initially puts the a + e to give allude

[bibblebub]

does the setter of the crossword have a name ?

[chelle7272]

Does it give the setters name?

[dave1948]

HI Bibblebub and chelle 7272

Once again you've hit the nail on the head it's Alun Evans - initially a e
maybe the uninspiring refers to people like me but I did think that cryptic crosswords should be self contained and not include obscure references like that.

[chelle7272]

I find quite a few setters do that. Glad you got it answered though.

[dave1948]

Thank you chelle 7272.

Mind you anytime obscure references like this come up I'll be relying on your assistance
