Another solid crossie from DA this week; amusing and quite challenging.My faves 11A 14A 17A 23A and the best;8D.(good fun)
Agreed, AL. I liked 4D and 7D too.
I thought 13A was superb. Have an answer for 6D but don’t understand wordplay. Look forward to explanation from someone tomorrow. 27A, 1A easy to guess but wordplay obscure especially 27A word.
27A – read the first word of the clue as two words
ML, surely it’s A for Horses, not H (like it’s B for lamb)?
I think H is horse as in a form guide where 4H refers to a four year old entire and 5G refers to a five year old gelding.
