Hello EVers,

All straightforward today and an early finish mainly because I started very early, unusually due to insomnia. All in all a fun crossword with one very slight moan (pedant that I am) in that 29d should be marked as hyphenated.

Thanks Samuel

I agree Twit-Who, a relatively quick grid population, but enjoyable nevertheless!
No troubles with an endgame this week. I'm not sure I've ever seen this type of construction before. Remarkable to get the jumbles symmetrically opposite to the themed clues they refer to. Good fun.
Welcome to you too, Samuel!

Fun puzzle, tight cluing, another unusual gimmick, typical Samuel.
Certainly my fastest grid completion! Guessing the theme after one clue certainly helped things along. Very enjoyable nonetheless :)
Yes, good one. I was looking forward to this after the really tough-looking Listener. Nice to have one I could get into.
I was a bit late getting to this week's EV.

I agree with dr b about the unique construction which was both
inspired and very enjoyable.

Thanks Samuel
Help please. I have completed the grid except for one letter, last one in 29 ac. clue being : Chinese measures tree cutting spirits.(5) Failed to see anything in BRB but I do not possess the 2011 edition. An explanation of the answer would be very much appreciated too. Thanks in advance.
I don't have the solution to hand, but if you could post what letters you have at the moment I can have a look.
Katis - Chinese measures

TI ( tree) in KAS (spirits)
Question Author
The answer is in earlier editions of BRB too. Not sure if EV/AB etiquette allows me to give full answer but the word is an alternative spelling of a word beginning with 'C' and the tree is 'ti'. Hope this helps.
