Cryptic crossword No 3,152

Thanks, Cigogne. Fun crossword and high standard of clues throughout, with 14a, 21a and 26a being standouts for me.

Hi Cigogne, thanks for the puzzle. Many excellent and very concise clues - in fact difficult to be any more concise than 25a! Tricky to pick favourites but I think the surfaces for 8a, 12a, 23a, 26a, 7d, 13d and 19d stood out the most. Cheers

Thanks Cigogne for a well-crafted crossword with my favourites being 9a, 11a, 14a, 21a, 25a, (love the economy), and 22d. More in reply.
