Flower is not necessarily a bloomer

Thank you. 🙏Just 2d and 21d to go now.

Just finished - enjoyable although I was not familiar with the sausage so had to look that up! I knew there would be a bit of a ‘Spoonergate’ over 19d! I too am a northerner davel, so initially questioned the ‘announced’ in 24 as the two words are clearly assonant! (in Yorkshire anyway). This has also made me think of another (very northern) Mel Smith TV show … ;)

21d Primarily indicates taking the first letters of words in the clue, an Everyman staple clue.
2d Double definition, a kind of meeting and a word for a group of people

Liza Minnelli film about Berlin before WW2.

The even letters of infielder, something that flows in Egypt.

I'm not happy with BITTER for TART in 20ac - tart is acid which is totally different to bitter.
