Hi Hindmoor, thanks for this puzzle which I found pretty tough going on places but also many rewarding solves when they came together. That said I did have to reveal a few along the way. Favourites included 1a, 12a, 7d, 24d....

Thanks for a very enjoyable crossword Hindmoor. Some witty and amusing clueing, my faves being 11a, 20a, 28a, 1d, 2d(brilliant!), 5d & 24d. Spoilers below…

Enjoyed this - thanks, Hindmoor. I thought 2d and 4a particularly clever and 9a and 20a also great.
