Thanks for that update Jono.

Hi Simon,

5d - themed so no definition but wordplay id 5 letter "Boatman's place" + 1 letter "first"

16d - themed so no definition - 5 letter "will" (as a verb) with the 1 letter "Latin" replaced by "with"

Bren@66, I think definitely a nod to the theme

Thanks Jono, I like to hear from others as I know I sometimes tend to "see things" that aren't there:-)

Well done Pauly, glad you got there:-)

Any clues for 1d please.
I enjoyed this one and it has certainly increased my knowledge of sartorial elegance 😄

simond9x - on 15a, it's a clever anagram. Actually my FOI today, although I'm still only half done.

Hi Griffin,

1d - 6 letter "blue-collar type" minus both its "rights" gives a very modern and in vogue word meaning "aware of social injustice".

Some have enjoyed, some have disliked this crossword.

For me, although I've not finished it yet, it's enjoyable even if only for the marvellous juxtaposition of the answers to 9 and 10 across. (Assuming I got them right).

Thanks Brendan. It's obvious with your hint. I think my brain was worn out with doing the rest of it!
Have a nice weekend.
