RayT in relatively benign form today, I thought, but enjoyable as ever. He has averaged bang on five words/clue in today’s puzzle – quite remarkable.
I wrestled with the definition element of 21a for a while and needed the current Mrs Shabbo’s help with the house plant at 28a. My joint podium clues were the steamy photo at 15a and the snooker rest at 27a.
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, Ray.
