Thanks again, never seen that abbreviation (OA).

Actually, is 15D one of the 10? 30D-state works, and if it's S+tate, that makes sense too. Although I don't get the 'say' in the clue if it's one of the 10, because Catherine & Sharon are both spelled Tate.

Say = State

I took 31A to be a homophone of loess(chaff) with a D put in?

I've got both 15dn and 31ac as themed answers. Sorry ixion, I'm with tony on the parsing of 31ac.

Agreed, it does make more sense and apt that it needs the whole "acid".

Are we just handing out solutions on a prize crossword? Seems to me there should be some boundaries about how much information is passed around ...

For what it's worth, I agree wholly with prospero.

worth a fair bit to me ...

Thanks to ixion #95 and greedykite #96.

Despite completing the crossword and fully 'getting' the theme/device I was completely stumped as to how the 22s 'worked.' Realised what the definition was but the wordplay beat me.

Won't go into all the weird & wonderful ways I tried to parse this - 'acid' = 'lsd' completely evaded me (haven't led a particularly sheltered life!) and L(itmus) P(aper) for 'new' currency also.

Thanks again.
