Thanks Malone, thanks Granama1,

I looked at the LE... for 20d but didn't really think "scurfy" was powdery, but of course it is.

29a I was stupidly adding an L back to the rice in 29a instead of an I

Apart from the the middle HE.....Y I can't make much of the misprints - I'll put it away for a while and come back to it later - hopefully looking at it with fresh eyes will lead to a breakthrough:-)

Thanks again.

Brilliant!
Loved this one, because I took so long to realise just how clever it was. Had it finished last night apart from a couple of non-thematics at top left. This morning, spotted things I didn’t see yesterday! Was it just me being slow?

Lumen, if I keep badgering away at a puzzle, quite often my mind goes down the same blind alleys. Then, the next day...tada!!! I'm sure the old noggin keeps chugging away as I sleep, but perhaps sleep just refreshes the brain.
I started off not liking the puzzle much....too much blank space, but ended up rather enjoying it.

Can I just check if the "super" in W.....N comes from the word "boss" going across it, or is it something else?

...or is just that it's over it? Also.... having trouble locating the BA...W one - in loo? in Furnace but why?

It’s a different B....w, less well-known, in Leicestershire.

That's brilliant, many thanks Lumen.

Any thoughts on the why it's super in super-m...?

Brendan, super is Latin for above, so the town is just Weston-on-sea really.
