I don't know why but I found the crossword this week a bit underwhelming. This theme has come up before, I'm sure.

Anyway, grumble over. I have finished the grid save for 34d. I'm pretty sure of 37a and 39a for the checked letters. Maybe I have got 40a (unclued) wrong; I have an 'oceanic' related answer. Whatever, there is no word in Chambers to fit 34d.

Could anyone offer a hint please? Thank you

Got it. Stupidly, I had double counted so was trying to make a square peg fit the round hole that is 40a.

I’m struggling with the theme on this one. All I can fit in for 19 is cherry stones but have no idea what that means. Any help much appreciated.

Hi unclued, Google "cherry stones rhyme".

Many thanks ginge. All done now. Googling cherry stones by itself seemed to yield nothing!

I agree with P/worthy - this one is a retread from approx 12 years ago.
