We were due an easier one after the last couple of weeks. All done except I can’t sort out the extra words in the down clues. Does not affect the grid fill but irritating. Do I need to do some more research on the relevant document?

Just spotted the link with the words. All done now.

I too have a full grid, the phrase and the name. I haven't a clue what the extra letters are supposed to represent, but I do not see how it matters.

Hi Gitto - all 5 terms from the extra letters (one is made up of 2 words) can be either preceded or followed by another thematic word pertinent to the ten-letter phrase, who in turn were the issue dealt with by the thematic name - if that makes sense! Trying not to give a spoiler as many people don't start on this until they have the paper version from the Saturday Times.

Hi, thanks for clearing that up. The top and bottom right hand corners had me puzzled for quite a while, but eventually all came clear. Missing that marketplaces was pluralised sent me down a rabbit hole for ages, but the light eventually came into view (pun intended).

Need help with 29a
More than one counted lines in clubs (7)
Thanks.

Forgot to say a misprint may be involved in 29a

Hi, Sunday,

The last letter of “counted” must be corrected. The clubs are Maori.

Good to have a straightforward puzzle after the last two demanding ones.

Hi, sunray,

The wretched autocorrect has struck again! Sorry for the name change.

Thanks wintonian.
I now have a word for counters.
I do not see Maori connection.
The clubs appear as ME?ES around lines.
Have not found that synonym for clubs.
