I can't believe it! I've finished within a couple of hours! It usually takes me the whole weekend - and then only with help! This must be a really easy one! The only one I haven't parsed is 17a. After all the help I've received from the Forum in the past, I'll be glad to give any hints if anyone is stuck!

Ha, ha! Thanks Mamya! I've led a sheltered life! When I googled 'cuckoo' + my answer, I was inundated with all sorts of exotic offers!!

Just 1s to get - I think I've got it but can't parse. Anagram of chapel and o & e?

Sorry, still completely lost on my last one, 17A. I have ?O?N?R?. Can you give me a big hint?

Your n is wrong Cymro - it should be a k. That might help identify the double definition
