I agree with tevor; your A is wrong.

It's a themed answer

is the word 'leg' just there for the surface reading?
I enjoyed this overall.

I think so, trevor - the clue wouldn't make much sense without it, but it's makes it a bit clumsy.

actually, it's probably the left letter of the word.

Could be. It's like that one the other day where "Vatican office" was supposed to be a clever reference to a toilet, but also read as "Pope", making the clue non-cryptic.

I think 'left' is superfluous in that clue.

i didn't really find much, if anything to fault here except some were too easy for a prize puzzle - 27d, 19 and 20a for instance.
