2 down - Squandered about a million once before your boss denied fellow culpability (15)

Answer is BLAMEWORTHINESS, but I am struggling with the parsing - I assume that squandered about a million is BLAMEW (A M[illion] in blew) and culpability is the definition, but how do we get ORTHINESS from the rest of it?

and while I'm at it - 3 down - A measure of change? (6-2) - answer looks to be EXCUSE-ME but I cannot see why?

once before = OR (archaic for "before")
your = THINE
fellow=BO so BOSS-BO=SS



excuse-me or excuse-me dance:

A dance during which one may change partners

Puzzledbob, I think it's one of those where the whole clue is the definition. An Excuse Me is a dance, measure, (in Chambers), where you swap partners, change.

Thanks both.

If Bo is just a random man’s name, that’s quite obscure!

It’s in chambers as meaning a fellow

26A Attempt broadcast of a certain appeal? (5) The answer looks like essay, but I don't see why?

Sounds like SA ( sex appeal)

Homophobe/broadcast of SA or Sex Appeal

Sorry, homophone not homophobe - damn predictive text
