Very nice crossword. FOI 1a, LOI 13d. Favs were 10a, 12a and 14a, thanks.

Nice, liked 6d a lot. Question in reply ->

Great stuff! One wrong though - unparsed GREBE. Tut tut!

Nice crossword thanks Sawbill & John.

A toughie, but a goodie. Thank you, for all your hard work on this, Sawbill and to you, John, for resetting this site and, even, improving it. (Unlike the Times qc's new style.)

Much enjoyed - thank you. Momentarily tried to parse 21D as with PC as base... PDM 'COP'! Do like the confetti at the end : )
