Morning All! A pretty standard Saturday puzzle that I solved in about two star time. There were some divertingly constructed clues that were quite enjoyable to fathom even if the answer pretty much presented itself from the checking letters (although that might not reflect everybody’s solving experience!).

Morning All! – THis was a pretty quick solve that contained the usual excellence. I particularly admire the way that Mr Greer picks a synonym and then immediately gets a surface reading that expolits the other meaning and confuses the solver.
