    Thanks for this, a very pleasant puzzle! Thoroughly enjoyed for it’s mix of clue types and some lesser used words but nothing too obscure. Thanks again.

    I can only suggest that your answer is incorrect. The wordplay is good.

        Sorry if i missed the reply button, it has been a long day. About 50% through.

    My first attempt tackling the MPP and I’m finding it hard going. A little less than half completed so far. It might take until the closing date to finish, but I’m plodding along!

    Completed. Unsure about one clue.
    Very much looking forward to the review from CS.
    Many thanks to Prolixic for an excellent crossword.

    Finished. Three that I’m doubtful about. I did enjoy the slog, and will definitely try the MPP again, even though I’m not eligible for the prize
