Hmmmm! Sorry to disagree with every(wo)man but I thought this was too easy for a prize crossword. I am not that great at solving but I do like the challenge I completed this one too quickly. Now I have to clean the house instead of taxing my little brain!

I agree, Playbus, I too finished the puzzle too quickly!
I like a bit of a "struggle", and one or two clues to "worry" over !
This all went in too easily.

I thought it was a bit on the easy side but quite enjoyable.
The only clue that i thought a bit dubious was 19d confusing letters with digits.

19d is fine with me. Henry viii is another example where a digit is written so

25d is my last one. Is it dolt? If so, the clue is not cryptic!

First letters (primarily) of the rest of the words. Also literally so (&lit)

Got them all except 20a. Found the rest easy and enjoyable.

According to Welsh woman, jazz fan is hairy beast. (7, 3)
?e?s?a? cat

(Sorry if I’ve given the second word away.)

Thanks.

The middle 4 letters are a Welsh female name

I’m sure I’ll kick myself, but as 28a says...

The cat is often white and very fluffy and one features in the Specsavers advert !
