Good fun I thought. Didn’t have a problem with 21d.

Phil, 7d is written as one in Chambers, i.e. without spaces, so no commas needed in the enumeration.

Steve, in 16d, NT is “supported” by the two other elements of the clue either side of it.

Morning all. Enjoyed this - quite a quick solve but not too easy.
Thought 25A was superb. I think I now finally understand the meaning of "a good surface"
1A (FOI) made me laugh out loud though I'm not sure it's very PC.
Thanks, Everyman. Some great clues.
Enjoy your Sundays

I have solved 27a. That is it.

Could someone give me a hint how to approach 1a or 1d please, just to get started?

I agree Barry: 25a was a really clever clue. And 1a also made me smile!

Lots to enjoy in this one, with a good mix of easy and harder clues. Liked 9d.

Jono, thanks for explaining the 'supported' part of 16d, as, like Steve, I also thought it was the wrong way around. I do have a bit of an issue with the definition of this clue though - surely the answer doesn't really mean 'droned on'?

Hi Druh, 1d is an anagram - the definition is at the end of the clue.

1a is how Hans, being German, might pronounce this word!

Thanks Geeker.

... and Mystoge@5

Struggled with 25A and had to look up the solution. Am I being too pedantic? The clue should surely be “WHEN squiffy or tight …..”, not “In which…” which indicates a place. Harrumph!
