Homophone definition. Not very fair, but given the subject…

Btw, references to Oxford and Shimla in 5d are also very specific to the subject

Tramp tells me that he wrote 22a. I would have put money on that one being by Paul

Perhaps a little too much GK for my liking but thankfully it all parses quite well before you resort to Google. 21d in particular I got from the excellent clue but had to look up to confirm.

24d I assume the last word is the definition because I can't parse it either yet. I'm also struggling to fathom 10a.

Hi Rocky, 24 put a reversal of lid in front of your answer. 10 insert three letters for station in the middle of your answer.

jono - re 22a me too, and I should have included it in my CsOD.

Thanks Jono. I'm nearly there. I'm also going to take back my earlier statement re GK. I've looked back over this and in fact there isn't that much and as I said, most of it very solvable.

i remember reading something by someone who had met 22a saying that she was completely average in the bust region; it was her very small stature that gave a misleading impression

This is really challenging! I have 2 "O" crossers in 15, am I on the right track?
