BD Rating – Difficulty *Enjoyment ****

Good morning, fellow puzzlers.

RayT is in benign form today, or maybe I was just tuned in to his wavelength from the start. A concise and enjoyable puzzle, as ever, from the master of brevity.  My gongs go to 10a, 11a, 18a, 8d, 18d and 20d.  Which clues did you like?

In the blog below, the definition element of each clue has been underlined, anagrams are CAPITALISED and the crossword technique “indicator words” are in brackets. The answers are concealed under the “Click Here” buttons.  Please leave a comment telling us how you got on and what you thought of the puzzle.  Please also try to be positive – it’s only a bit of fun.

Many thanks to our setter and the DT Crossword Team.
