Morning all . The answer to 15d is also in The Sunday Telegraph today . Their clue is not as saucy . Most troublesome , riots then breaking out . Coincidence or same setter ?

Hi Charlock, I much prefer the more Paulinesque Everyman clue:-)

Excuse my ignorance, but can someone enlighten me as to what a Pauline clue is?

Hi coffindodger
Paul is a regular Guardian setter who enjoys setting slightly smutty clues.

Hi. I’m stuck on 19 and 27. For 19 I have ?a?a?? I have an idea but it doesn’t add up. For 27 ?e?t???l

The expression in 18 is totally new to me if I’m right. A horticultural theme?

Thanks for pointing out the Pauline clue. I found it hard today.

Hi catcharmer
better to give the clues, so all can help
All your letters are right
19 Athletic Club, judo expert (has been disputed earlier) and A to give a country.
27 two sounds like to give something that is often served with spaghetti

Thanks chrise. Got them now after much searching. The pasta topping was something that, as a vegan, I’d forgotten about.

I’m stuck on 18 across.

Can someone give me a good clue?
Thanks

Sorry, I can't really help Ruby but it is an anagram.
It's a phrase I'd never heard of and I had to check with google after I'd shuffled the letters around!
