After the specials of the last two weeks, I was expecting an easy ride, but this was a real challenge from Brummie, requiring a great deal of lateral thinking to spot the antonyms. Very enjoyable workout though.
FOI 18, LOI for some reason 1.
COD? I liked 24 and 26a.
Many thanks to Brunmie.

Morning R, enjoying this. FOI 11. One of the 12 only so far.

Re special instructions, "of the same length" is superfluous shurely

Unlike the previous contributors , I really dislike these crosswords with their varied special instructions. After the ridiculous Christmas Maskarade offering I was also anticipating a more normal crossword this week. I have no problem with difficult crosswords, but after about 55 years of doing this prize every weekend I am seriously considering going elsewhere .

Samuipete. Is 11 one of the 12? Unless I have misunderstood the instructions, the last two words are the actual meaning.

Hi Rocky no it isn't, sorry if I implied otherwise.

Hi Cheshirejohn, I totally agree re Christmas Maskarade, I hardly glanced at it.

OK thanks. I suddenly thought this was going to be even tougher in that having solved the clue I then had to dream up an antonym of the same length to fit in.

As I'm struggling a bit with this, maybe that is what he means!

Rocky I meant that 11 was my foi. And that I had only found one of the 12 at the time of posting.

Rocky that made me LOL.
