Am I the only one to find grid B considerably trickier than grid A? A fun puzzle but struggling to confirm last couple.
Is 12A TR(O)AT?
Is 25D INDY (Benin was formerly Dahomey & the 'Indy'is a race but even so I feel I'm missing the wordplay)?
And what on earth is 21D ...awry a rugby player's weaving inside

rya rug(weaving) (anagram of awry + RU)

12a trait (characteristic)
yes to indy - indy car racing in + dy (as you said)

12a is from the Guardian special!

Bless you Sudokulover. Very helpful & much appreciated.

part 2 of 20a ....err stupidly, fighting a regressive tendency (11)

part 2 of 11a ...sappers cutting part to reveal hidden mass of mineral (9)

retr(o)action
secreti(o)n

what a star - thanks

I'm struggling with Grid A. I've got the 4 10 letter words in (I think) the right places. The first part of (9A) must surely be "allegro". But I haven't got a 7 letter across space in Grid A where this can fit. Have I completely misunderstood the rules or just made a cockup?

Is there a hidden significance to the title?
