... definitely not up to the standard of a Guardian prize crossword, especially after a weak puzzle last Sat!
Never mind - more time for other things!

That's a shame I always look forward to the Saturday one. Have you had a look at today's Listener in The Times?

Good fun and not as hard as recent ones. At the level of a more difficult Spectator.

Yes thanks Daniel, I read on the answerbank thread that's it's "easier" than normal so I have downloaded it to have a go later.

Finished in 20 minutes, but one I can't parse.

29ac City accommodation in some anonymity (3,4)

?E?,Y?R?

Answer and def. pretty obvious, but could anyone explain the wordplay, please?

its in the middle of ano ny mity

A pretty weak clue, Chris, don't you think? It was my last one, too, but pretty stupid, I thought.

Maybe small city would have worked better, and been a distraction.

Thanks all - feeble, I agree.

I must say I didn't find the puzzle as a whole too feeble: easy, agreed, but at least partly fun. I realize, though, I was in a minority here last week on this issue. Maybe I have slightly different criteria.

Could someone please help me with 23 ac - Really ravenous readers ? that´s some alliteration (8)
and 17 ac - Before 9, get to ooze (5)
