My last one to do, 2down, "women wearing dresses with middle cut out to show curves(5)". I have W*N*S.
No one else seems to have mentioned it so I must be missing something!
Hints welcomed...

chrise and roof, re. yesterday's G 27482 by Paul, the key answer was 12d a once very popular game involving numbers. A caller would shout out numbers selected randomly and people would tick them off on cards and the first one to collect a set would get a prize. The caller would use inventive terms for the numbers which featured in this crossword theme.

Curves is the definition.
For the cryptic part, take each bit in turn:
Women (1)
wearing (2)
dresses with middle cut out (2)

Indeed. The principal thing I'm complaining about is that I innocently Googled "Grandma's getting frisky" to see what the context was, and there were most of the rest of the answers.

Cheers rogissimo

chrise -- yes, it was a bit of a wikipedia-theme crossword, not the most challenging type.

I've just finished the prize crossword .....with a bit of help.
Seems I wasn't on the same wavelength as the setter this week.

I did pick the winner yesterday though.
I only had a £1 stake so it hasn't changed my life!

I think Roof is referring to 29a.
Training = PE
Advanced = A
Driver = Els (the golfer)
Definition = out
