And I had no doubt that your clue was carefully constructed.

Hi again aristo, touché. Just amused myself with online "tutorials" re different from/to/than.
You'll be lost now, as will anyone not from the west coast of Scotland/Glasgow but what school did ye go tae?

I hope it's all right to do this a bit early. I'm going to be briefer than usual because I just have my phone at hand, and large fingers. I especially appreciated the topical clues, about the LA quakes, Brexit, and the British ambassador (e.g., stevea @2, ginge @18 [lovely structure]), but of course enjoyed reading all of them. I'm going with kt's concise entry @12:

Singular, lacking gravity, phoney, aloof (7)

Your prize:

(I don't understand why anyone would try to "improve" the profound beauty of our island, whence I'm posting, with a Japanese garden.)

Thanks ever so much, faithful setters.

Can't argue with your choice aristo, it would have been mine too, congratulations kt17.
Damn, must get on to my architect, the cigar humidor seems to be missing.

Nice one, KT17!. Cheers, Aristo.

Congrats Kt17 and thanks aristo.

What a pleasant surprise!

Thank you Aristo: the Collard-Picard family of Epernay also thank you.

Thanks also for the island - but I'm going to have to pass - it was just a little understated for my liking.

Best wishes all and see you tomorrow, God willing.

Very good, kt17. Thanks,aristo.

Nice clue kt17.

Thanks aristo.

Congratulations Kt17
Cheers Aristo
