Agreed with alzy on 18.

18D Yep thanks, I see it now.

Sorry guys, I'm obviously missing something. What does "Think person and pick one of the two spellings" mean in regard 18d?

Brendan, I think "(eccentric) person" or oddball/weirdo. I originally thought of a word ending in "nt" rather than "te"; maybe those are the "2 spellings".

Hi Brendan

The answer as a noun describes a person who is a crank, the more common version ends in NT

Got it, thanks guys:-)

Good day all. Several PDMs today. Given the incident in the Euros my COD is 13d because Christian is one. And I am sure we all wish him well. Agree with the comments on Everyman quality today. Some great clues.

Excellent today LOO 20a and my favourite 1a Brendan not sure only thing I can add 1st word of answer works for Reading and Amsterdam 2nd word maybe is the two together or they are twinned? Unlikely maybe

Actually 1a is simply seeing Amsterdam as a four-letter word which is first word of answer and the rest of the clue is part of definition.

Surely 18d is the verb as in 'winding course'?
