Bernie, that was really great, no wonder I did not get it, I took an hour to no avail, thank you.

Should've added, the noise made by coconut shells!

I could get this one! However - 27A - "Susan leaves us trapped in flood" I have 'SUFFUSE' but not sure why??

For Susan - Sue, leaves = ff (folios) and us.

Thanx andyc. Have never come across ff for folios (leaves) - live and learn!

That's why I love cryptic crosswords, learn something new every day! (Well, almost every day.)

Love this site cos if I can't see why/how a solution is obtained someone will help! This increases my solving powers!
