As Toughies go I thought that this one was pretty much plain sailing (I’m trying to find alternative ways of saying straightforward) but I did enjoy it a lot. If, like me, you’re a Wodehouse fan then the 5d answer leaps out and is a massive help.

BD Rating – Difficulty **** – Enjoyment ****
Hello all, the man from the Vega Baja is back after a couple of weeks off while the ‘other job’ intervened. I do wish clients wouldn’t want to travel on Wednesdays – I missed Jay’s 500th because of them!
Maybe it’s just me being a bit thick in the early hours of this morning but I thought this was way above Jay’s normal difficulty level and it came as a bit of a surprise to me on a Wednesday! Only 2 across clues done on first pass but the downs yielded enough to get going. Jay seems to be making a trademark of making his across clues the hard ones!
However, once all the pennies had dropped I realised I had really quite relished the challenge so definitely 4* for enjoyment. You can all disagree with my difficulty rating if you like but, based on my solving time compared with normal, 4* is what it is! (I reserve 5* for if I have to email other bloggers for help, not had to do that yet but this one came close on one clue!). As I said, maybe it’s just me . . .
