Oooohhhh. Got it. Thanks for the extra clarification needed to get through to my grey matter!

Can I have a clue for 13 d please

It's a place - where I was born and brought up, in fact!

Thankyou, I’ve got it now

12a. I'm afraid I can't do that...

…sorry Dave

i always thought that all that stuff was irrelevant to the plot.

At the top of the thread, I overlooked 6,24! The third "outside the box" and clever clue. That, 12 and 19 were the highlights and kept the puzzle from being an outlier of an easy Prize.

HI everybody

It seemed so easy. I started at 2.00pm as usual and had finished by 4.00pm apart from 6,24. I then had to nip out to the shops as we have visitors coming tomorrow. What a foul day! There are a couple I cannot parse including 12ac (I can't follow Geeker's instruction), 1d, 4d (though Geeker explained it above) and 16d. I'm sure of my answer, but I thought 16s came in packs of fourteen (according to Google).

FOI 14,9, which gave me a real laugh as did 2,28 and several others.
COD so many to choose from 5d, 1ac, 22ac, 25ac,19d
LOI will be 6,24 when I get it. I think 6 is obvious from the letters I've got and I understand the instruction, but cannot think of the word. Oooh just got it. Very clever and may become a COD.

I thought this was a brilliant Paul (partly because I could do it, but also for such witty clues)

hi roof
you're right that 16s come in 14s, but the second word come in 13s!
