Pigale. @ 10

I'd like to comment on many really good entries but space and time won't permit.
I always like innovation and admire skyewalker's attempt @ 12 but have to agree the tweak was needed which unfortunately spoils the surface as you noted. Of all the (p)resume(s) I prefer pigale @ 10. Shortlist includes mattrom @ 7, jws 16, rossim @ 21 and spike2 @ 29.
For me, just losing out using similar (but different!) devices seamus @ 26 & jws @ 36 to what I felt would be a smiling lightbulb moment when solving aristo @ 14.

Nemo #20

Such a long short list that it is difficult to decide!
Liked Mattrom @7 and 9, Fiery @11, Nemo @19, 22 and 34, JWS @16,
Rossim @ 23, Stevea @31 ........... where do I stop?

But just in front of all these good clues comes my vote goes for
Ginge @5

Hi everyone I make it we had 26 clues from 14 setters.

One more vote to come in from pigale - at the moment the contest is too close to call.

I've just devoured my weekly fish and chips ration and need a lie down.

Back after 9pm BST with the result.

Thanks for playing this week!

Just shows you what a slow typist I am.

It's a tie between mattrom #9 and ginge#5

Chrise voted pigale so I shall have to decide...

I'll go for ginge's well hidden def. in his #5

To take repossession do they follow us back inside ? (6)

Your prize sir ;- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diwF1-xJwZM

(not my genre but quality shines forever)

Congratulations, ginge
Thanks for the comment, steve (glad someone liked it :) )
Cheers bbm2

Congrats, ginge. Thanks, BBM, and thanks for the mentions, pigale and Nemo.

Can someone please parse the winner? I see the reverse of US in there, but need help with the rest, thanks.

Congratulations Ginge and thanks for the mention.

Thanks Bbm2 for hosting.

I've delayed congratulating ginge and thanking BBM2 as I was waiting for a parse too! Let them both be said now...
