Jumbo crossword No 18

That looks like 9 minis 😆

Pecked slowly away at this more bittily than I would have liked to, but I got there eventually! I continue to be amazed at your ability to write silky-smooth clues for just about anything, with coherent surfaces to boot; my piecemeal solve means I'm not really in a position to give a full roster of favourites, but I'd say my favourite across was 23a and my top down was 12d. Spoilery comment and a spot of shop talk below, but in the meantime, huge congrats on the milestone!
