Wonderful! Crammed full of delectable offerings, all beautifully baked. On the top shelf for me were 7a, 8a, 4d, 15d! 19d and 20d. Beaten at first pass by 18d and 25a but thought the latter was particularly clever once I’d seen it. In 16a I might have preferred ‘providing’. Thanks Podger!

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
