BD Rating – Toughie Difficulty * – Enjoyment ***
A crossword that took me exactly the same time to solve as today’s 3* backpager; what turned it into a Toughie was the time I spent trying to completely parse 32a.
I will be interested to see whether other solvers are tempted to use that phrase regarding the ease of solving the clues, the use of which is not encouraged here on Big Dave’s Blog

Good morning everyone, and welcome to the midweek back-pager blog. For me, this was the hardest puzzle of the week so far, but not too tricky for a Wednesday. Amongst my favourite clues today were 9a, 12a and 20d, but first place goes to the Northampton cobblers in 8d. Many thanks to our setter.
