Hi Daz. In the UK it is indeed said as a single word - sounds like a cheeky game that might be going on under the table!

I've seen it clued like that, BarryC!

I agree about 24a - what can he have been thinking of?

How about a new heading: CCOD 24a

Thank you! Can't believe I missed the hidden insertion (face palm). And yes the capitalisation successfully misdirected me! I still don't quite get the "mature years" part of this clue, but will let it marinate...

All done FOI 2d LOI 15d CODs 4d 22a. How does "that woman" appear in 15d?

That woman is the first and final two letters. The bit in the middle is a reversal (excessively rising).
