Thanks once again for the link greyfox.

Glad to get it done before Tiger tees off at 9.06.

Why the powers that be didn't liaise and avoid the clash of such major events, is incredible!

Best wishes K

Best wishes.

Many thanks as always, greyfox. Much more enjoyable this week, I thought.
Many thanks for link
Thanks for the link. Yes, much more like it. A very entertaining puzzle
Thank you, greyfox.
Yes, entertaining indeed and quite challenging (perhaps more so than last week's Listener?) I have completed it but am not sure why the first of the two words made up by the misprints is there - is it mildly redundant?
Perhaps. But think of the two word phrase as the political term meaning a constituency held with a particularly small majority, and relate that to the title. Also think of where the (second words) are placed in the grid. A visual pun.
Ah, thank you, Dr B. I was aware of the political significance but completely missed the visual pun - brilliant - how slow i can be!
Belated thanks for the link. Am travelling in England, and on to the Isle of Man on Tuesday, so not much opportunity to get on the internet and won't be printing off the Speccie or the EV until tomorrow afternoon. Greetings to you all and happy crosswording.
Hi
I have finished but am unsure on the wordplay for

20 ACROSS Lacerate

Clue: Thrash standard team.

I think 'team' should be 'term', the 'R' being the R in MARGINAL

Enlightenment please!
Thrash = Lace
Standard = Rate
Team for Tear = Lacerate
Oh, well, I got the right answer, duh! - thanks Rapparee for straightening me out on the wordplay. Should have seen that....
Didn't pick this up till Friday, but even so I had expected to be finished before Tiger Woods was !
