Ev 1109 Seaside Capers By Picadilly

Fairly easy gridfill, followed by some head-scratching over the instruction. A lucky search in onelook.com's reverse dictionary led to a possibility; my reaction was at first "no way", followed by "way". Interested to see other reactions to the endgame.

My reaction to the endgame was that I couldn't believe the setter managed to get that into the grid, and so tidily as well. Blimey. Well done to Piccadilly!

I found the gridfill a bit pedestrian, but suspected that the instruction would relate to a specific area. Spotted the first few letters of what the instruction was telling me and a dive to the BRB and the endgame was resolved! Can only marvel at the finished grid.

Wow: now I need to take a breath! Great fun.

I was explaining to someone new to the mad, mad world of EVs and Listeners that I'm not usually a fan of jumbles as a device. I think it's well-justified here. Thanks Piccadilly.

Cagey

How delightful. Fabulously done. I can only reflect what others have implied as to skill of setting.
For me this theme was a gift and I will now have to show all at work, who will no doubt look at me with s brutal combination of sympathy and non-comprehension. Ah well.
Thank you Piccadilly

I've found the disease in the obvious area - do we have to highlight it or will delineation suffice ? Interested to read how others dealt with this.

There seems to be a mistake in 16a.

TheBear69

There sure is, monkmonk; nevertheless the construction is a pure delight.

I'm fairly to EV and this was my first jumble. If they're all this good...

My experience of the endgame was much like dr b's, except that Google's autocomplete pointed me to the unbelievable truth.

I'm in awe. Bravo, Piccadilly!

salveMe

Should read "I'm fairly new to EV ...." - I was overexcited!

Christiana

Wow -my admiration for Piccadilly knows no bounds. I finished the grid a couple of days ago but couldn't find the missing piece in the conundrum, so I left it for a while. Then, just now, I idly picked it up and a few letters leaped out at me. A quick scurry to the BRB with reactions almost identical to dr b's - disbelief giving way to 'yes it really is' and 'how did Piccadilly manage that?'
Very satisfying.
