I'm enjoying this. Not quite finished but thought I should draw people's attention to it. A few Americanisms but nothing we can't easily check.

Many thanks, simon. Nice one.
Grid filled faster than usual, quite a few Americanisms which is OK for me.
Took a while for the penny to drop on the special instructions, but it was rewarding.

Could someone help me out on my LOI, 9,

Hefty item's handle contains ill-considered bit of brass (8)

I have _RAS_GA_ so I suspect there is a mismatch in there.

Other pairs look like gobbledygook!

Thanks in advance,

M
