Loads of great clues today I thought.

Totally agree, samuipete.

Not as tough as last week and more enjoyable imo. Similar alternative clueing style as Picaroon but I was more on Brockwell's wavelength or just more on it generally this week. Must be last night's rosé from the Luberon taking effect. Can't work out 5d yet.

COD I'm going for 25a. FOI 11d. LOI 26a. Thanks to Brockwell.

In case you want a hint, rocky7, 5d parses as 2,3,1, and the 3 in the clue isn’t a reference to 3d.

May I just add 23a loi to the list of great clues

You may, samuipete, except that there isn’t a 23a!

Thanks Rog. I think the 3 was throwing me off. Obvious when you know.

Aha good call!!
May I just add 22a to the list of great clues today

I had thought my knowledge of rhyming slang was quite comprehensive but ashamed to say I'd not heard 4d used before. Will now add it to my vocabulary ...

One of my favourite Prize crosswords of the year. So much to enjoy. The hardest part was the half biscuit - if it does indeed refer to an American thing?
