The theme is very dear to my heart although I'm not sure about the 'rocks'!

Slainte.

Hello K, where is AJT this morning? Feeling quite smug as I have finished(I think I have anyway but just want to check on one) and it's only just 9am!! Is 31d an abbreviation for a Welsh county?
Thank goodness for Google as I do not partake!

Hello Sudokulover - Yes, I've just finished it too - must have been the same minute.

Sorry - didn't finish. Yes, it is.

I hope I'm not the only one who takes strong objection to 10d which endorses the worst kind of grating English pronunciation - lorr and order is the usual example but there are many more now prevalent on the Beeb and elsewhere.

Help please ..... completely stuck in the top-left corner ! ;-( .... 1d. Grandma embracing boy upset statesman. (7)

Nevadan - statesman

NAN - Grandma

DAVE < Boy upset

N EVAD AN

Thanks K ..... let's see if I can finish now ! lol ;o)

All done now thanks .... I hope ! lol

Good evening all. Must be a bit dense this week. Of the unclued, only have 13d ABATTOIR & 29d STRATH (?) That can't be right. Thought the "rocks" might refer to drinks, but that seems to go nowhere. HELP!
