Enjoyed this week's. A wonderful spoonerism return which also provided one of a long rhyming pair. Ashamed to admit I needed the primarily. A hidden, many anagrams. Pretty blank on my first run through but the long down anagram provided lots of crossers.

I wish you all a good Sunday. Was nice to be top of the EPL for a while.

And my CoD is 1d. Nice surface?

Hi Yevrah,

Agreed, the Spoonerism was a classic:-)

Cannot parse 7d although the answer is clear.

... when I say it's clear, I mean from the crossers and the definition.

Sorry I should give the clue ..

7d - 7 Musical instrument that may be kept by a stoner (8)

The answer is a (stringed) instrument and also a kitchen utensil but not one for removing stones so I doubt it could be classed as a "stoner" - as such I'm at a total loss as to the wordplay!

My only suggestion is that the second definition suggests that this and a stoner, both being kitchen implements, might be kept next to each other, but that’s highly tenuous!

Possibly Jono but according to Chambers a "stoner" isn't a kitchen utensil, even though it does sound like something that would be used to remove stones.

It is in Collins though…
Stoner - a device for removing stones from fruit

Brilliant, many thanks Jono:-)

I keep overlooking that Everyman is not as beholden to Chambers as other puzzles we do.
