Thanks, Jono. I think I have made the same mistake. Back to the drawing board!

So I put a 'Y' in 17ac, could it be an 'I'?

Hi bigmacsub,
Loudly is a homophone indicator so sounds like the word with an I but you are correct in putting a Y for the answer

A good one today. Easy I thought until 13d 17a thanks for the help with that guys also 22d which is quite clever and easy to get wrong. England for the Euros! Good luck!

Yes, thanks for 22d. I had the wrong answer too.

Still not happy about "cuisine" in 13d - it doesn't seem to be the right word. Ours don't get "cuisine"!

Also the definition for 16a is odd.

Did anyone else try BIKINI for the second word in 24a? Presumably intended misdirection.

Hi Chris,

16a - I puzzled for ages over this definition before a PDM when I realised it was like 'drain(ing)' or ??? ???? one savings, for example.

Morning all. Enjoyable today though also struggled with 13d, and thanks, Jono (#30) for hint for 22d.
Did nobody else enjoy 11d? That was my COD just for the laugh!
Also really liked 12 & 20A.
Stay safe.

You would have to be a lazy/careless speaker for 11 to be a homophone.

Hi Barry,

11d was my COD - it's such a great homophone and conjures up such a funny and unlikely image 😀
