Thanks Jono. Chambers doesn't have it.

People interested in this sort of thing I'm not) would argue about whether or not it's a "house".

OK Jono. Thanks, I have it now, but you know what, I've seen lots of abbreviations used in cryptics before but never that one...

Is anyone having problems with this site today? Keeps timing out on loading. Not Brockwell's best but he has set the bar very high so that's not a criticism. It was still very good. Plenty of misdirection and hidden definitions as always.

FOI 9a even though I couldn't see why. LOI was 26d which took me far longer than it should have. COD, with my slightly juvenile head on would be 15a but I have to go with 26a of course.

Have a good Saturday all.

Yes, I've had problems today too. I've been in touch with Norah, but she doesn't know what the problem is. It's not Ash doing maintenance, though.

Many thanks to everyone for solving and commenting. It was nice to see you gradually twigging what was going on here. This was the most 30ac crossword I’ve written, but it really helped me at the time. All the best, B
