Hi Jack

I'm afraid the penny hasn't dropped for me. In fact I'm having trouble getting started - only three answers so far and two of them are doubtful. I'm out this evening, so may have to give up.

I used to be on Paul's wavelength, but not any more.

I must confess that I've entered the only possible answer I can see for 25,1, without seeing how and why it works. I also don't see how it realtes to the 5,4 answer.

Didn't enjoy this at all (though, unlike many, I'm not generally a fan of Paul's puzzles).

roof,
Some clues baffle me too.
The place in the lamp where bulb goes?
1a: the first 4 letters mean hose.
I am still trying to figure out 17a, 15a and 18d,

18D means put in order, 17A is an anagram for an item of apparel and 1A is a synonym for an electrical power point.

Thanks cymro and scorpiojo.
Forgot that OR means yellow.

Also had the answer to 15a. Did not know how to parse it.

Have not thought about 17a yet. But soon.
