AJT & JS . thanks for P. I applied my learning to ameliorate my attempt to attain the ultimate :o)

Only just got round to this! An excellent puzzle.
AJT - followed your advice, and got most of the clues by definition, then had some fun sorting out which cryptic bits fitted each clue.
Quite a nice change!

I also did this mainly by the definitions but am left with 8ac and no idea which clue goes with it Must have a mistake. pe?o?t?t Where have I gone wrong. One with a hanging basket?

8A begins with an "A" Teenleek - "one with a hanging basket" - linked with 7D

Thanks Ixion, had miscounted my Ps and As, will now try to match up the clues just for fun.

Don't know where that little t came from. Sorry

I know puzzle is old hat but I set it aside some time ago only to recommence.
Assuming 26A is Uncle Tom I'm at a loss to where the cryptic element is. The Nick Clegg reference maybe?
Also the hanging basket of 8A I donot see any slot for it.
Help please

The cryptic part for 26ac is in 24ac. It's the first letters of all the words following "primarily".

And for 8ac, the definition to be entered is "one with a hanging basket". The cryptic part is in the clue for 7dn.

Thank you for that Peterm. I didn't go the whole way with initials. Did you enjoy 1D, Peter?, over and out.
