Like the ones with Lewis on his own too. It took forever to get 10a because I had **** instead of **** as first work in 8d, must pay more attention to the tenses!

Nice to know there is someone else with my odd humour.

I liked lots of the clues this time; 27a lept out at me which was very helpful but liked 8d(close to home) and 14a & 22a (must have similar sense of humour to you Lea!)

Wasn’t keen on 11a though.

What a site for getting the old grey cells working and clarifying problems. Only negative on the easier than usual Sunday prize crossword was a rather weak 21d which I thought should have been ‘rented’!. Loved 10a, and can I have more of Anax’s great insight into the setters world.

There were lots of good surface readings and a handful of smiles. 22a and 27a were my favourites.

27a was enjoyable to work out
11a clue was a stretch
