Cryptic crossword No 844

Thanks Jaspa, lovely stuff and quite accessible (though the under-checked 3d held me up for a while) - favourites 9a, 10a, 12a, 25a, 2d, 15d & 21d. Spoilers ...

Hi Jaspa. The usual riotous run through with only 3d, 5d and 6d resisting on the first pass so, difficulty-wise, judged about right again. 3d was tricky but fair - I knew what i was meant to be doing with 6d but was thrown a bit by the def. Favourites include 9a, 14a, 22a, 25a, 1d (lol), 2d, 3d, 18d. Spoiler in Reply. Thanks. PM

That was a fun one, thanks Jaspa! A good level of difficulty as always with some tricker bits that took me a bit to crack, I particularly liked 9a (clean and fun), 10a (neat, def worked for me, but most things do :P ), 14a (nice assembly), 22a (smooth), 26a (neat), 2d (nice assembly), 5d (neat) and 18d (fun surface)...

Hey Jaspa, one of these days I’ll learn the difference between the Post button and the Reply button 🙃 Until then - good job! Mostly accessible as I know you aim for, with only a few that stopped me in my tracks. Faves: 1d, 18d, 14a 👍

Nice one Jaspa - a very enjoyable and approachable puzzle. 1D set me up to gradually solve it from left to right. Favourites: 12A, 14A, 22A, 2D and 15D.

Nice one Jaspa, I enjoyed this! Favourites included 14a, 19a, 25a, and 5d. Accessible but not a write-in!
