Hi Roof,

9a - Yes, 4 letter "informed" reversed/'about' + single letter "answer"

Thanks to Chris, Jono and Micky. 5A - doh! I should have seen it, but a good clue.

Roof, I too found this hard going. 6 to go after 9A slapped me in the face.

Cheers all

Thanks Davel and Brendan

So, I have finished. FOI was 11ac and LOI was 27ac, which I couldn't see at all, but was obvious when Dave pointed it out.

My CODs are 7d, 18ac (though I couldn't see the parsing until I came on to the forum) and 16d

Last week I struggled with Paul, but when I liaised with my friend in Sheffield last Sunday, she said it was easy. Sometimes it is the other way round!

All the best roof! How’s the garden?

Seriously! Is no one going to comment on my COD jest at @2 😥

Hehe, that went over my head Brendan, and I have a degree in physics!! 😂

Sorry, Brendan, I'm afraid I didn't notice it, which is a pity, because it's quite amusing now you've prodded me into seeing it.

Thank you Jono,

I was beginning to lose heart, especially after my "don't give up the fight" reply to Barry's "get up, stand up" post last week about the "wassailers" clue also went unnoticed.

Thank you Micky,

I had originally written "but on principal, I chose 4d to the exclusion of all others" but changed it as I thought it might be too 'on the nose':-)

Most excellent, brendan.
My bad for missing it. I'm into that subject and wrote in the solution, perfectly well aware of the reference.
