Back to normal today - rhyming pair, anagrams and our usual "primarily" type clue.
20a made me smile, but my COD is a toss-up between 11a and 24a - OK, I'll plump for 11a.

Yes, all present and correct.
The ellipsis “…” in 26a seem odd and lead me to think that the clue above was rewritten and would have originally ended with an ellipsis. If you had a letter to the front of 25a I can imagine something that connects with “poser prancing” and might have made for an interesting connection. Mere speculation of course.

Another quick solve today but good fun. Grauniad app showing odd encoding at 17a. My COD 3d.

Took me a while to start to fill up the grid. I needed the long down anagrams. Very enjoyable. 19a my CoD. Best wishes all.

A nice one. FOI: 1a. Loi: 4d. Cod: a toss up between 7d and 19a . Can’t parse 5d. Any hints appreciated.

Nicola 5d is a word meaning acquiring (normally by working) with a letter removed from the middle and replaced by the usual letter represented by Romeo.

A perfect Everyman for me. Some easy ones to get me started, and so many great clues. 19a and 11a my joint CODs.

Thanks justsolve. I’d actually got the wrong answer. I’d focused on the jewellery!

Most difficult Everyman for some time I thought.
Any hints for the parsing of 4d please?

4d parses 3,2,2 all in reverse.
