Thank you, Bunty. "initial notification in turn" What is that about?

13a anagram of a rude + N(notification)

"in turn" is the anagram indicator

Thank you for all answers.

I am aware that più is the Italian for "more". Where does "quick"
come in to it?
As I said, my annual masochism!

piu literally means more (quickly, softly)
