Thanks Umpire, this was a fun solve with a nostalgic theme. My favourites were 11a, 16a, 3d (Cambridgeshire ftw), and 16d (a new word for me). Love the Nina too!
Thanks, Umpire, I thought that was a really good puzzle. Favourites 10A, 16A, 29A, 4D (favourite), 13D, 15D. I can't parse 5D and 7D. Spoilers in reply.
Very good to see you round here again! Thanks for the puzzle, which I enjoyed. My favourites are 4d, 6d, 13d, 23d. (I did like the across clues as well! It's just my favourites are all down clues!)
That was fun, just tough enough. Lots of clever ones, my favourite being 18d but also 8a, 16a, 24a, 28a, 1d, 3D, 17d, 20d, 21d and 27d which has a particularly amusing surface.
Umpire this was lovely - thank you. All gradually slipped into place with the exception of 28a for which I needed help to solve. A great many excellent clues. My favourites were 20d, 21d, 17a and 26a. Cheers
