All done :-)
Liked 19a, 24a, 21d and 26a.
Can't parse last letter of 3d tho'

it's a sounds like rather than a charade

Hi Pauly,

3d - Is a homophone/for the audience of (how a dog) "drinks" - definition is "mistake"

btw I googled to see where 4d was thematic, and discovered something interesting. would be a spoiler to say what, though.

Brendan, thank you - not seen that use of 'audience' before.

I enjoyed this but I do like a theme. I had a reasonable knowledge of said theme but still had to use Google to help - but I don’t mind that as it means I’m learning something new! My COD was 7d as I really don’t like Spoonerisms and smiled at the misdirection.

Well that was fun. Glad to see I'm not the only one who struggled with 28a despite a degree in a relevant discipline! COD for me was 26a which made my wife inhale coffee. 7d is clever too.

Hi JohnTo,

I'm glad your wife liked 26a, it really is excellent:-)

7d - The "note" is a foreign currency and it goes around 3 initial letters from the clue definition is "something for (Reverend) Spooner, say?"

7d - A thousand apologies JohnTo - I misread your post.

No worries brrndan
