I wondered about 17a and thought "no, it can't be that" - apparently I was mistaken. Gets the 'audacity prize' for sure.

I have answers for 25a and 21d but can't explain why - suggestions welcome.

Meanwhile, I share the thoughts about 1d and 8d, agree that 17d is pretty neat, and enjoyed the overall thematic touches.

25a ends with a fairly unfamiliar music notation expression
21d the "signals" are used on racecourses (and, subsequently, used for little mints!)

Yes, funnily, as soon as I posted, it occurred to me that it could work both ways.
“Army signals” is slightly more amusing though.

Hi Guys, what do you mean by 'that sense of army' - like Chris I took the definition to be "method of army" as in a fighting force?

Hi Brendan
Look up the racecourse thing.

Thanks Chris, I get the racecourse reference but I thought you and Jono were suggesting that "army" was being used in a different way.
