Cryptic crossword No 1,871

Thanks Meles, I enjoyed this, and had to switch my brain on at the end. Favourites included 8d (my LOI), 1d, 13a, and 5d.

Well done, Meles. Another high quality puzzle with an interesting twist. 12a, 15a, 26a, 30a, 2d, 3d, 5d (COTD) and 23d my faves. Thanks. PM.

Thanks Meles, enjoyed this a lot :) favourites included 2d, 5d, 7d, 8d, 17d, 23d, cheers!..

Good stuff, thanks Meles. Found it pretty tricky, needing a couple of reveals in the end. Lots to like though, in particular: 10a, 11a, 14a, 30a, 2d, 5d, 6d and 16d. Spoilers …

Thanks Meles. I found this challenging but I'm glad I stuck with it, revealing only 4a. I particularly liked 15a, 3d, 7d, 16d, and 24d. Spoiler in reply.

Very nicely done, even though I didn't quite get them all. Particularly liked 10a, 13a, 14a, 1d, 2d, 17d, 23d...
