Thanks everyone, that opens it up for me.

Is it perhaps more a case of I becoming L by adding a stroke?

Yep - you're working (correctly) in upper case; I was thinking lower case!

Can anyone explain the wordplay in 21D & 27A ?

defs are clear.

Perhaps I should have added the clues.

27A Children's and grownups' clothes found around flat mostly (6)

21D Sir John's rejecting personnel cuts as waste (5)

kit - clothes round dul(l)

Thanks sudokulover.

Never heard the term before.

Any ideas which Sir John is involved?

is the answer.... offal

sir john falstaff. cut staff, as/of offal

Thanks phillip.

Right on the money.

As you are all burning away the midnight oil, you may find these interesting.

The Aeolus clue made me think of "The Singing Ringing tree" which is on Pendle Hill in Burnley, not far from where I live, this in turn put me onto another link with a couple more Aeolus' down south (Eden Project & Canary Wharf) by the artist Luke Jerram. There are a few short clips to watch on these links, hope you enjoy them
