Anyone doing the Azed today? Have been looking at it for half an hour and have got one definite so far! Spoonerisms are my least favourite type of clue!

Looked at your helpful suggestions before I leave - I have answers for all of these, but don't fully understand my answer to 28a!

It is midnight and I have just got back in, but could not resist a quick look to see if there were any more postings on this Azed!
Pensionerpat, I agree. Some fish are very talkative.
Hanker, I think you mean 27d: whiff states (American spelling).
I am going to bed now!

I have 18a now - it seems asking here helps one to solve for oneself!

9d wean pus (though not entirely sure as I thought wean (bairn) was pronounced to rhyme with dane rather than dean)
