Hi Lucy, yep I’m stuck in Tier 4 for Christmas as well.
The theme is cryptically described by 27d which I’m sure is placed there in the centre for that reason :)

Thanks Jono, I'll plug on and see how far I get. Might take me out the other side of T4 and into the sunny uplands....

I agree with ohcelt and chrise. I really can't be doing with this type of crossword. First one I've not started since July.

Agree with eviltony about the two real bastards. If anyone can gimme a clue as to why the answer to 45 ac. is what it is, I'd be grateful

Well, can I just say that I think Maskarade's puzzles are superb. The whole point of the large grid is to keep you occupied during the long holiday period when there is not much else to do.

Perhaps I'm biased, having met Tom Johnston several years ago when I travelled down to London for the day.

Well this has certainly been a workout! A rather apposite theme given the sticking point in the Brexit negotiations!

All finished bar 23a How Time Flies I've got E_O_S_S

I'm at a complete loss! Can anyone help please?

Hi Justsolve I think your o is incorrect - I have an a.

That’s right. The A comes from Pedro’s nationality in 10d.
