I wouldn't imagine 11a is a word commonly found in the US either. Quite old fashioned here these days.

Held up in the SW. Don't think I know the ballet if that's what it is. Just 17, 25 and 27 to go. Quite a straightforward puzzle today.

Ah, got the ballet clue. Staring me in the face.

yes, quite straightforward, especially for a philistine. the hiddens were cunning. favourite 3d

All done. A record for me that. Some good clues if a little easy. Thanks to Philistine.

COD the humorous 17d.

Delighted to say that we (who normally struggle, even with an element of cheating) have finished this one in record time.

So thank you Philistine. Much obliged.

Easiest prize in a while I thought. Some nice clues, 3 stands out for me. Held up by mistyping 20, other than that a quick solve. Took me a while to parse 27.
Thanks Philistine

Yes, quick but much fun. My only query is, how do we arrive at the last four letters in 5d? Word play for the first five seems reasonably clear. Then nothing. Is it a mistake or am I missing something?

it's another second

Right. Of course. Many thanks

Hi everyone

Starting even later than usual this week. I wasn't even sure I'd attempt it, but I see it is "easy". My husband has gone into hospital with a heart problem and is awaiting a pacemaker, so my brain is all over the place. It should all be straightforward, so I will tackle it. I must check the abbr for Rebecca and the Asian food.

I expect I'll be back!
