Way to go, Les! Just what I needed. So much for the laundry. Too hot to tackle that - 33°!

This one might be tough. Took half an hour to get a toe-hold at 10A. (Thanks Ros.)
That's what I did today - 9D.

Cheers.

Only just discovered your latest baby, Les: leading the world again, eh? Will get down to it straight away!

Think I've cracked it: some very clever clues! Await some explanations eagerly! Another triumph for you, Les!

Everyman 3431 yesterday included "Information for fool with illegal drugs (4)" which must count as a triple clue. Had never seen one before and this comes along at the exact time you post your puzzle. Maybe they've been there all along and I've just been too slow to spot them.

Still stuck on bottom left hand corner, Les, but otherwise good fun. Well done and thanks for the challenge

Do you want a few hints, Rosalind? I did that bit last, too, but am pretty sure of the answers, tho' not always of the parsing.Could keep it relatively cryptic, if you like...

Yes please, GK. Cryptic, as suggested, perhaps for just one or two.

OK, here goes for the two longest:
25a Think of an infamous Jack & you've got 6/7 of the answer!
15d Find a synonym for the 1st word in the clue!
(Hope everyone agrees they're right then!) gk

Thank you GK, well on the way now. Had the wrong word ending for 21 ac, which perhaps accounts for my denseness.
Think 25 ac very clever now I've got it!

looks like you're there GK, well done Rosalind.
I will post the explanations later, after clue chain or maybe a bit later cus I have to write them out first
