I was rather hoping for something to entertain all weekend in the light of circumstances, but a beginner one it is. Fun enough though. Good luck to all and stay safe.

Thanks Tatters,

The Listener is usually way out of my league but I've had a quick look at the clues and it does seem quite a bit easier than normal - famous last words:-)

Yes, nicely done but very straight forward. Apart from the central cell.

In danger of spending more time on that one cell than the rest of the puzzle put together. Hopefully inspiration strikes just after I post, as often happens....

That's depressing! I have done about 80% of it (rather than the usual 8%) and was starting to think that progress was down to my genius.

Not sure what you mean about the central cell, Smellyharry. 30 across is a normal entry

Wow. First non-numeric I have ever completed. Back to bewilderment next week I'm sure. Stay safe chaps.

There seem to be two options for the middle letter, neither of which gives an Italian port or a citrus fruit as far as I can see, unless I've got one of the crossing entries wrong.

It is not a citrus fruit but rather the first letter of citrus that is removed from an Italian port to give a fruit.

The C which is removed is not the first letter of the port.

Yes, finally figured it out just after my last post. Thanks.
