I'm stuck on my last clue... which is 7d "Disparagement of the unattainable like this impels accepting knock (4,6)" - letters are: S?O? G?E?E?

Any ideas? Many thanks!

Hi Simon G,

Are all your letters correct? The only words that fit are GEEZER, GREYED, GREYER and GREBES, and none make sense to me in relation to the clue.

I think it is SOUR GRAPES-
12 across-Don't allow Scots boy and old man to keep English boxer-BAN-TAM W(E)IGHT

sorry-
16across-Retire after success comes dismissal-
"hit the sAck"

and 11 across Parasite left on river-l-oUse

Hi Swansea Jack, clearly not!

Hi AJH, many thanks for SOUR GRAPES, I got BANTAMWEIGHT and LOUSE but inexplicably got HIT THE DECK instead of HIT THE SACK so many thanks for that too!

Thanks to you both for your replies...
