Bradford’s book of crossword lists didn’t get an outing today but the BRB certainly did. The Pirate’s rewards 21a gets my COTD today but what was yours?
A generous 16a and 16d clues today and I have hinted half, a couple of the little ones (20a in particular) caused me some grief last night so some of the longer bits of Lego™ remain unhinted. I hope you find the checkers to fill the lights, but I will try and provide a nudge if you are struggling
Plenty to eat and drink today and a 15a selection of music and pics you should have a fine Sunday Solve
