Phil1000 I agree with your remark about the spoonerisms. Almost to say that this one is not quite a spoonerism in my understanding. But I could be wrong. And of course stay safe. Dare I say that I hope we do not get a virus inspired Everyman.

12a: Four letter synonym for stepping on a wire and setting off a buried explosive. This follows the letter s. The second word is synonym for that buried explosive. I hope that is the correct parsing.

I romped through this week’s offering early this morning before hitting the trails for a spot of moorland cycling “social distancing” while it’s still allowed.

A great range of clues with my favourite being 1ac - superb. One of the best set of clues in the past few months.
