While the intended parsing is clear is it not convention to use country IVR codes as given in Chambers ? 36d uses BR for Brazil in wordplay but Saudi Arabia is KSA.

As usual my good friend and top solver Ginge is correct.

All I would say is that 'even Homer nods' so we should forgive the Times Crossword champ the odd mistake!

I am stumped by 31D and Chambers is no help. Can anyone give me a nudge?

Hi helveticus, it's in the BRB version and it's a language.
I've just checked and it's given by "quicksolve" here with the correct crossers should you need to use it.

15d? Two words, I presume, in the theme language. And that's as far as I get, even with all the checked letters. Gizza clue, our Billy. Thank you

I'd be fawningly grateful if some one could tell me where I can find the unclued lights I'm missing; I know the shared origin and I've managed to weasel out three of them but I've still got five I can't find.

Where to look?

Thanks
