Dear Prospero

But for your comment, to which I see no one has responded, I would be stuck on only 19 completed answers. Thanks to you I have now struggled to 20!

Incidentally I can't help with the odds : do the crosswords have the same editors?

I hope you're doing better than am I.

Prospero, are there many people who'd do both Jumbos? I prefer cryptic crosswords, so never look at the other one! And if I wanted to do it, I'd have to photocopy the grid - not a big problem if you're keen.

Helpful if you could give the clue number in the cryptic version for this answer please.
There is only one 3,4 clue and I can't see how it parses. With 'Sir John '

Thanks

28d in the cryptic has the same answer as 27a in the GK one

Maybe if the original poster hadn't been so cryptic.......

Plodding on now with the remaining clues.

Prospero, I'm not a subscriber - and still not a fan of non-cryptic crosswords!
