Well, that was a total pig! Not helped by having the wrong three-letter word in 24a.

Hi edc. It still is for me. Only got about half done so far. Hope for some enlightenment through this forum later.

Won't ask for hints yet, too many to do.

Yep, needed lots of assistance from this site and online thesaurus, so more of a slog than fun. And why on earth is 3D Ones rather than One? (Or is this just another example of Everyman being slapdash with apostrophes - cf. 26A?)

I think the apostrophe must have fallen out of 3d and landed in 26a :-)
Why we need so quite much punctuation in 10a is also a mystery to me.
Actually I found this ok.

Tricky. Got there in the end 21d so ended with a smile.

Needed Google to confirm 7d due to my lack of GK - can't blame Everyman for that!

COD 20a but am a big fan so possibly biased!

Have a great Sunday everyone

Much more satisfying this week. Just the right degree of challenge. FOI: 1d LOI: 21d. COD: 19a or 26a. No stand outs really but an all round good puzzle . Thank you Everyman for years of Sunday morning entertainment.

As always it was the short clues that gave me the most grief !

The first read-through solved just a third; took a break, mowed the grass, had a coffee and finally finished.
Found it a bit tricky

I would guess that the fact there are only 8 posts by 5.30 on Sunday afternoon that this was not overly popular. This is never an Everyman crossword by any stretch of the imagination. Many of the complicities of solving and parsing are only for a seasoned crossworder. Also Everyman nuances missing. Spoilt the Sunday afternoon regular for me.

Agree with post #9 , not much interest, I'm still not finished though a couple just dawned on me.

Not so enjoyable.
