Cryptic crossword No 155

Thanks Popcorn, I enjoyed that. My favourite clues tended to be the most accurate and succinct, and with the most meaningful surfaces. I’d put 11A, 12A, 22A, 25A, 3D, 18D, 24D in that category.

That was enjoyable and, with one notable exception, pleasantly solver-friendly. The exception is 3d where I think that unless the enumeration is given as 1,1,4 it is virtually impossible for the solver to get the answer. Which is a pity, because when you reveal the answer the reaction is “That.was clever”. Not sure about the definition in 29a but the wordplay is so clear it doesn’t matter. Some especially neat clues, I thought, favourites including 8a, 11a, 22a, 23a, 13d, 21d [SPOILER IN REPLY]

Nice crossword and quite straightforward. Agree about 'lead' in 15ac, but nice misdirection. I liked the structure of 23ac but might be tightened by reversing: "improve/amend garbled email address" ? 21dn could lose "is" to be tighter. 18dn lovely and succinct.
