I’m stuck on a clue, I wonder if anyone has any ideas
17A. “Bends that grow sharper as showers approach” (7)
I have *R*P*T*

Thanks

ARMPITS, if 'sharper' can be seen as 'more pungent'?

Thank you, that’s going to be it, judging by the compiler’s sense of humour!

I do have another:

19D, “Bothers lately?” (6) I have ***N*S

I think it’s going to either hounds , or taunts, but I cannot parse either

I think it might be haunts, with lately meaning late as in dead, I.e. from the dead

Yes, thank you I think that’s going to be it, it makes more sense than either of my ideas that I couldn’t make work anyway.
