A fine puzzle which elicited a gruckle (groan + chuckle) at the final PDM. The method of entry for the 24 was fairly easily discovered and a lucky/inspired Google search led right to 11d and the...
I found it very difficult to get a toehold into this one, given the mix of clue types. I think I had one grid entry after 15 minutes. But, plugging away finally paid off once the theme was revealed. A...
29d. What's common to his and her hearts? (4). I have ?ISH, not totally certain about the S. Obviously several words will fit, but where is the definition?

Can anyone help please

Hello all EV solvers, Have ou all hibernated or are you a bit under the weather after the Xmas festivities. I need your help please. I have solved most of the answers in the above except for 1, 21,and...
A fine puzzle, although a lot of cold solving required before you can really get going. Getting the 10 & 11 letter words helps a lot. Clever of Ifor to include 2 grid numbers as part of the...
