15a "Menial's years behind plough" (6)

?L?N?Y. Can only see FLUNKY for menial but this assumes flunk can mean plough, which doesn't look right

7d "Nobody rises after notes to take it easy" (4,2,4,4)

?E?T ?? ?N?S ?A?S. Looks like REST ON ONES OARS but not sure.

Any help much appreciated

Gooner, I think it's flunk, plough as in do disastrously in an exam.

Thanks malone; any thoughts on 7d?

Thanks, gooner. Maybe...

Res, notes (in music) To, in clue, None (nobody) Soars, rises.

Res To None Soars - Rest On Ones Oars.

Thanks again malone; just wanted to check

Gooner, I hope that made sense. I don't always parse things, I'm often happy enough with the solution!
