Sunday Toughie 5 (Hints)
Sunday Toughie No 5 by Zandio (Hints)

Hello from deepest wettest sunny but breezy Yorkshire,
I am beginning to get the hang of these new Sunday toughies. I think they are settling down to a comfortable Tuesday or Wednesday toughie level. I am not sure I will cope if they ramp up to Thursday or Friday difficulty. Zandio said he was responsible for today’s toughie and a fine example it is. The dreaded Reverend Spooner appears but I managed to overcome my nemesis today.
I have given you hints for half the clues and hope you have enough checkers to winkle out the rest. Remember the Miffypops maxim “When in doubt look for a lurker” both of today’s are unhinted and reversed (21 and 26a). Continue reading “Sunday Toughie 5 (Hints)”
