RBQC, thanks - and glad I could help. I answered an earlier query, the answer was Cavity - that seemed too normal a word for this puzzle!

Don't know about 12 or 19, but I think tour second N is wrong in 15

12a pie shafter? (Although that knackers 4d!)

15d near thing

19d tin pork

Any hints for 28a?

Thanks for the nudges.

12 - you’re mixing up the vowels in an effort to make it ‘Viz’. Think John Prescott R.I.P. (off topic - he saw the new Jag ad and died) or that old tea ad with the monkeys and the piano.

The problem with this puzzle is that most come to it expecting ‘too much’ - the answers are mostly mundane, with only a few ‘choice’ words.

19 - fencing sword.

28 - another anagram (think Toblerone).

[I think all thread’s should be hints and nudges]

[BTW, Trebor, are you anything to the mint company?]
