Thanks Podger. I didn't find that *plain* sailing! The puzzle has an impressively substantial filling of themers to go with your characteristic inventive surfaces. I felt quite smug getting the unfamiliar 8a and 6d but was beaten by 18d as the city was a NHO. My picks are 25a, 7a, 8a, 13a, 1d, 4d and 5d. Thanks Podger.
Great stuff - I like puzzles that make me chuckle and there were quite a few smile raisers here, particularly 11a, 3d and 6d. Some clever misdirection too with eg 15d, 22d, 24a. Impressive amount of theming and entertaining surfaces throughout, although there were a couple of NHO's for me but very enjoyable nontheless. Other top picks 9d, 10a, 1d, 5d, thanks Podger
