Good morning from a very dreich Welwyn Garden City. A good day for doing crossword puzzles.
Once again, no prizes for guessing the identity of our setter today. It’s Thursday, the “words per clue ratio” is a fraction over five and the calling cards at 23a and 25a all tell us that this is the work of RayT.
In the blog below, the definition element of each clue has been underlined, anagrams are CAPITALISED and the crossword technique “indicator words” are in brackets. The answers are concealed under the “Click Here” buttons. Please leave a comment telling us how you got on and what you thought of the puzzle. Please also try to be positive – it’s only a bit of fun.
Thank you, setter.
