Cryptic crossword No 781

My thanks to Yogdaws for some helpful comments and suggestions.

Nice one, Nordloc. I like the way you’ve extended the theme beyond the core clues. Favourites were 8a, 27a, 6d.

Nicely executed puzzle nordloc. I liked 21a, 27a and 2d in particular.

Thanks for the ouzzle nordloc, some lovely stuff here, including the theme - 20a (very neat), 25a (very clever), 16d (clean), 24d (very neat) - nicely done!
