            The solution ought to have been RABBIT ON, I believe. Oh well, we've moved on now.

                        Raise bund! Those containers could explode and you might get hit. (7)

                        Comment


                          That's not the solution, RC. If 'raise bund' could signify a defensive barrier, I guess I'd have to concede the clue wasn't tight enough.

                            I thought it felt a bit awkward but was going by form a defensive barrier and the anagram (meandering) of (R Danube is) Scratch my clue.

                                    What function does nudie bars fulfil in this clue?

                                        Scarecrow (man) bit vanilla confection (6,7)

                                        (and I'm befuddled by Nudie bars' purpose too)



                                        (not the only query I've got about that, but I'll need to revisit that after this one's solved)

                                              Yep - hence my hesitancy over Ichabod Crane and not Jonathan Crane?
