Some hints/guidance would be greatly appreciated for these three...
16. ... so make smart coppers surround the border - i have an answer that starts and ends with S based on smart coppers being the SS (their suits were made by Hugo Boss) but i'm not entirely happy with this! Am i barking up the wrong tree.
24. Ken's in trouble after what sounds like a trashy type of drama - feels like this should be an anagram but i've exhausted all options.
86. Sergeant-major frightens about fifty with such weapons! - a sergeant major is also a fish, does that have anything to do with it? Again, feels like there is an anagram there somewhere but no luck.
Thanks!
