Really, really sorry but an unexpected trip to A&E caused me a huge amount of chaos. Everything is OK now, but it has meant that I missed posting deadlines quite badly, so sincere apologies. – T
A nice puzzle to end the week from one of my favourite setters. Good solid clues that do exactly as they say on the tin with 1 across quite a clever clue that may need a bit of explaining, as well as a couple of new words on me. 13 across has baffled me a bit. A number of the clues are of the “whole thing defines it, and the clue is made up of the indications” type and are nicely constructed.
Hope to see some of you at Parsons Green.
As usual, feel free to have your say after the review.
