HARD, Does anyone else secretly resort to the Quick Solve just a bit sometimes?

Very rarely for the Everyman and occasionally for the Graun Prize crossword (had to use it a lot for that yesterday).

Have been away from this for a while. Just understood the spoonerism. Spelling a bit weird though. Interesting.

You should never worry about spelling of Spoonerisms, just the sounds of the words.

Hi all. Unlike Jazzgirl, I enjoyed the spoonerism (I'm a bass player), and thought 20D was very good.

I've finished but don't understand 21a at all.

And 11 made me smile as, many years ago, the details on the till receipt for a cuddly toy were truncated to read "Furry (11A)"!

Thanks for all the hints

Thanks, JG. Funny thing is, it's also an anagram of speed and hog!
