Cryptic crossword No 2,473

Thanks PostMark for an excellent crossword. I found this on the gentler end of your spectrum; only 18d baffled me. My favourites were 1a, 12a, 13a (COTD), 17a, 20a, 4d, 16d and 25d. Nice work as expected.

Thanks Postmark for a neat and enoyable challenge. I liked 13a, the CD in 15a, 6d 9d and 16d. 1d took a little while to parse, but that's me being slow on the uptake.

What Gennaro said!

I completed a PostMark puzzle! (Gentler as Gennaro said). I especially liked 5a, 10a, 17a, 3a and 4d, 7d, 8d, 14d, 21d and 26d (haha, all the downs tbh). 10a FOI & COTD

Thanks PostMark, very much enjoyed this. Nice and clean as usual with great surfaces as well. Favourites were 12a, 16a, 17a, 2d (the substitution is very neatly clued), 19d and 24d.

Very nice PM. I'd agree it is for the most part at the gentler end of your output, but some nicely chewy bits kept me on my toes. Really liked 13a, 15a, 17a (top pick), 23a, 2d, 9d. Thanks
