Thanks Ozpiper, some excellent cluing in here with some (depressingly) topical surfaces - I particularly enjoyed 5a, 12a, 22a, 2d, and 19d. A couple of observations and suggestions in reply...
Thanks Ozpiper. I found this quite difficult and I revealed 12a, 13a, 22a, and 15d; I needed your notes to parse 13a, 18a, and 15d. As usual I enjoyed many of the clues including 5a, 6a, 10a, 5d, 19d, and 20d despite my limitations in the overall puzzle.
Enjoyed this - a slow and steady solve and only had to reveal 24a and 19d in the end. The latter just beating out 12a to join 18a and 22a on the podium for me
A couple of days late but thanks for this, OzP. A mixture of nice constructions plus some I either don't understand or query. Ticks for 5a, 10a, 22a, 2d, 8d, 15d, 16d and 19d. Thanks. PM
