Thanks jono.
The commentators don't call it a "boundary" any more (I know that it is, though).

Of course Jono. It's Paul after all.

Just got 3, 13, 21 as well.

I’m still gnawing away at 16d. Whilst the letters in question are a suffix indicating in the style of, I don’t think they would ever be used in this way. ‘-esque’ would be the usual suffix, ‘-ish’ an acceptable English alternative. But i suppose the use of the ? makes it ok-ish 😉

I think it’s fair enough - look at ‘Adam’ in Chambers as an example of a name converted in this way…

Phew!

Can't parse the second part of 15, can't parse 3 + 4 at all.

Can't help on 15
3 - have you solved 1d?
4 explained by jono earlier

15 if you read the answer as if it were a clue, you will find a way to generate the final three words of the actual clue!

15: 15 & 20a are an anagram of part of “we meant sword”. The first part of 24 (5 letters) is the anagram indicator. The rest explains how the three spare letters of “we meant sword” work. Hope this makes some sense!

I definitely needed a few hints from here to finish my last few in the SE corner today. Enjoyable though!

Thanks for your help:
I now get 4d (def. doubling as part of the parsing I presume)
3d still none the wiser about '1 without 8' (Yes, it's all done, Chrise, just parsing to go)
15a the extra 3 letters and the last 3 words still bemuse me.
