Had I known this would be crossword #42 I might have tried to incorporate a Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy theme... but I didn't. All feedback welcome!
Nice work abw, and again a pangram! No theme? Ah well, next time? I did notice your moniker in a mini-nina though - probably unintentional. Liked 1a (especially), 17a, 8d. Maybe consider tightening grammar? - some parts of speech don't match. 24a alas doesn't always work out!
Enjoyed this, thanks. Good range of clues, most very good. Liked the surfaces in 1, 23, 29 across and 9 down. Managed to work out 14a from the wordplay without knowing the word - always a sign of a good clue!
Thanks ABW. This took me a bit longer than your previous puzzles - either it’s harder or I’m more tired - probably both! I like 1A, 29A, 3D, 4D, 25D. Although I really like 24A, I think a different anagram indicator would have made it a wonderful clue - as it is...SPOILER...
