Cryptic crossword No 3,279

Thanks Gennaro, this was a good, honest and satisfying breakfast for the brain. The nina revealed itself quickly to remind me of something I’ve done a lot of- often the wrong way round! Well worked- no horrors in the grid. My faves included 8a, 9a, 16a, 25a, 1d, & 17d. One query below…

Took a while and the key clue to unlock Nina, but she was an excellent help. Faves include 8a,12a,27a ,2d,13d, 17d. Thanks!

Thank you. Enjoyed this, esp 25a, 27a and 1d. Lovely nina. Would I find 9a in Chambers? (Not sure a couple of your homophones quite work for me personally - they will certainly work in some accents but where I come from, "poor" sounds quite different to "pour" (12a) and "fore" sounds quite different to "for" (10d). Maybe I need elocution lessons :))

Nice and breezy, Gennaro. Only 26d held me up with an unrecognised def and I needed to turn to the nina to clarify. Likes inc 7a, 11a, 18a, 1d, 6d and 17d. Thanks. PM

Another enjoyable puzzle Gennaro. I breezed through most but found 9a stalled me for a while (not familiar with GF), I often pick up something new doing your puzzles. I very much liked 3d plus 4d, 5d, 17d, 22d, 27a and 25a, thank you

Relatively quick one for me but fun for a Sat night before bed. I had a T at the end of 28d which fits the clue just as well IMO but of course not the Nina.

Thanks for more good fun. Very nice Nina. Got it this time. :) Faves: 19d, 27a (COTD), 29a, 5d, 17d. More in reply.

Very nice, Gennaro - and Happy Easter. I’ll be back later, thank you.
