The final one I am stuck with is "Agricultural advance suggested by Emil or Trev?"
It must be "Green Revolution" because it's the only thing that fits the existing letters but I haven't a clue why!Thought is was an going to be anagram involving "Emil or Trev" at first but that can't be the case.

Can anyone enlighten me?

If you reverse the letters you get Lime and Vert, both of which mean green (revolution).
Emil and Trev are both green reversed

Lime and Vert
Trev is Vert backwards (green)

Emil is lime backwards. Still not convinced though :o)
........ ahhhh ............... lime green

I was thinking of the other lime. I am such a Builder ;o(
Revolution implies turning the words around.

Many thanks
Well that's a cheeky one! Should have something that tells you it needs reversing in the clue!
Seems a okay to me, George- EMIL and Trev are green revolutions (ie turned around)
it's one of those for which if you read the answer as though it were cryptic then you end up with the wordplay part of the clue
