Thanks, Simon.

By the way, 2d (A horse and tup – put ashore for example) also works as A+NAG+RAM

Thanks, Simon, for the blog. As with the others, I parsed 14d as

carbon based rock = COAL
crushed black = encompassed B
left in original tube = L in TUBE*

As you say, a gentle puzzle for a Sunday.

sorry, i meant

Re 14d… I see the word play as
carbon-based rock = coal + B (black) + (L in TUBE*)
