Stop!

It's Tammer Hime!

(3,1,4) doesn't make sense either for the Spoonerism, not even Americans pronounce the first word of the solution that way?

I'm gonna say 18D "capturing" is not correct as well, since the letters in question are inside ("captured" - not capturing) the others.

I'm in a mood now lol! Good job I have 1 beer left.

clean and tidy with a good range of devices....also liked 16. Thanks Everyman

brendan #6....thanks for reminding us of that sketch....when they both got very 22 at the 21!

"they both got 22 at the 21" - that's brilliant Culmer 😂

22 turned up very recently in another Prize or Everyman, this time the clue was better I think.

PS it's "Driver abrasive ultimately capturing a", just as written. I thought this was a good crossword, though I concur with misgivings about the Spoonerism. It's just a phonetic word swap (at least for this Kiwi).

Yeah, 22 occurred 4 Everymans ago as a hidden,

I thought the hidden version was not inferior, certainly more concise.

Crossword done and dusted .Hope it is ok to post here but I have been having much fun with Cracking the Cryptic youtube channel .It deals with cryptic sudokos and I think would appeal to many of you puzzelers . I am nothing to do with channel but just passing on word .
Appoligise if this reccomendation breaks any rules ,if so delete my message

Fairly straightforward this week I thought. Not only have we had 22 recently but 23 appeared as recently as last week. Sometimes these small words with common letters as crossers are the only options that fit, as is the case with these two.

I think Spooner would ‘satisfy an amount owed’ perhaps?
