My favourite for a while. Lots of clever and witty clues. I liked: 9a 20a 1d 5d and 19d . Just the right amount of challenge.
No problem with the parsing of 12d which fits as a double definition in my view.
I am however, still scratching my head about 12a so any hints would be most welcome.

12a is a cryptic definition with a play on capital (which can mean the head)

Perhaps try copying and pasting the link into a different browser (if you haven’t already).

I've seen the first 3-letter Americanism of 11d used (sans US indicator) in several UK cryptics. It surprised me, and I'm not sure I like it, but it's not a "novelty".
