Happy New Year to all EVers. This was a nice ease into 2022.

Happy New Year. It was indeed a pleasant beginning to the EV year. I was positively electricians with the extra 22 bits of fun, some of which were quite inspired, I thought.

malone ... the burglars were extra in 8d
I didn't bother with all the pairings of the extras...

Hi xwordfan, process of elimination suggests 32d, although not entirely convinced (when everything else was very convincing!)

Thanks, xwordfan, I thought the query meant the burglars were one of the six... and I remembered all of those! (I no longer have my copy).

I thought it was 32d too. It’s the weakest of the pairs for sure. It kind of works in a Weegie accent, but most other speakers will need to imagine a second B.
