Morning all. Nearly all done. Enjoyed the construction of both 12 & 6, but stuck with 3D. Ah. Just got it, but it doesn’t rhyme if you’re a northerner!
Stay safe

Like Jono I laughed at the plumbing reference in 5d, plus the clever link to 1d

It was nice to complete it this week before coming to the forum for hints. A rare occurrence for me

I didn't get the 6a runner reference either, but see it now.
I'm not sure about the definition part of 9a , but overall very enjoyable

Oh I was using the wrong part of 9a as the anagram indicator, I get it now!

Excellent again. Everyman lures you in with a few easy ones and then you come unstuck! Git there in the end 23a 25a particularly clever 22d could not parse thanks to all for some of the parsing.

I am answering my own question to set as in liquid setting. 22d

Thanks Warden, I completely missed the link between 1d and 5d, nice spot.

Loved it today from the brilliant first anagram 1A to my favourite 3D. Pity I can't get any from yesterday's prize crossword. Another look today I think.

Nicos or maybe as in the sun setting. That’s the only example I can think of where the other spelling is synonymous with set

Enjoyable today. FOI 10a. Particularly liked 18d.

As for the rhymes, the answers I have for 3D and 11d seem quite plausible but they don’t rhyme so any hints welcome.
Thanks

Catcharmer for 3d the first 7 letters are an anagram of a word in the clue, then a two letter French word for “the”, followed by a three letter expressive word/sound for “I don’t like it”
