d-e-d-n I simply can't do this.Have I got something wrong?

clue please for those of us that dont have the crossword

No, Almaroad, your letters are OK. Think of china.

Clue is:

Chinatown needs reform to follow doctor (7)

Anagram of 'needs' following the most common 2 letter abbreviation of 'doctor'.
Definition is 'Chinatown' - but nowhere near China.

Thank you everyone.It's so obvious now you've explained it!

Cheers, almaroad

Can anyone explain vulpinism and predicate, assuming these are correct?

I think it should be vampirism

I also had to change 10a from allow to accommodate this, but it makes sense. Not entirely sure of predicate either

re predicate 15D

cider (drink) backwards = redic inside pate (spread) = predicate ( a grammar term)

Predicate = Pate (type of spread) around cider reversed (ie. drink 'up')
