”if Everyman has a policy of gradually stretching us until we're ready for all the obscure devices that the midweek setters use on a regular basis.”

That’s so pleasingly phrased! It’s a minor part of the ‘mission’ and one I try to to only when it seems fairly obvious what the entry must be, but yes. (Ditto for terminology you only see in crosswords, etc.)

Thanks all!

definition for 10a seems more than a bit off

sorry - missed a page of comments

Hi jono, agree on that 10a clue. Thanks.

I still need an explanation for 5d. Any different help suggestions?

if you do 5d to tehran az you get nazareth

Yevrah, re 5D, look at the letters of the italicised section and then those of the final word.

Phil10000 and Chrise - aha, thank you, get it, like it.

One of my favourite books is 'Everything is obvious once you know the answer'.

So true.

Thanks to Everyman for popping in. It’s always nice when setters do. Good to know you have a “mission”!

Thanks Everyman, good puzzle I thought, about the usual level of difficulty.
Jono - why would TT refer to somewhere in the Caribbean?

Davel, it’s the IVR code for Trinidad and Tobago
