And you a former winner! 😂

Now come on Jono, you know I don't like to talk about that 😂

That was a tough crossword today

FOI 1d in which I initially put in a wrong answer
LOI 22a

COD 1a 29a 24d 23a 20d a Pauline clue 18d

24d was singing well into the 20th century and famous enough to have a dessert named after her!

One might say the toast of her era.

I'll get my coat.

That is right. Definite word play. Not double definition. 9ac.

femmenoire@19: This Yank first heard of it in an Agatha Christie story so you're probably right!

...no wait. The Agatha Christie story involved "all my eye and Betty Martin." Well I don't know remember where I first heard of 19ac but it is UK (even the initialized version isn't in use here).

Fantastic puzzle, my CoD might be 1ac (also FOI) because the surface works so well. LOI were 22ac and then 23d--took me a while to remember the expression in 22ac.

It's often preceded by "sweet", with the solution being a euphemism for a much ruder expression.

The initial letters of 19a represent two words which are a much ruder way of saying "nothing", quite often preceded by "sweet" in British English.

SNAP, barreter!
