Some neat stuff here Roach! We just had fun solving this on our Cryptic Sunday Twitch stream, if you want to watch it back: https://twitch.tv/crypticsunday

I saw Angel and Balrog solve this on cs and agree that fun was had. Some nice ideas and succinct cluing. Thanks. PM

Hi many thanks to the Cryptic Sunday team and all that came to watch. Glad you enjoyed an attempted gentler anagram-heavy puzzle and my personal favourites 6A and 17A as much as I did. Seeing the puzzle solved live really helped me consider the thought processes of another solver of great benefit to future constructions (and lazy spelling!). With more crossword time on my hands now, I'll have to check out the stream in future and give my below par solving skills some much-needed exercise...

Thanks for this, I had fun with it. Had to cheat a small handful at the end but the failure was on my part 🙂

This was fun.Liked the surface of 9a. I found 'fish' confusing in 11a. 17a was a hoot! 'On' in the clue for 18a is perhaps 'not on', if you'll excuse the bad pun.

I enjoyed this, relatively accessible which is exactly what I was looking for 😁 I especially liked 6a, 17a, 25a, 2d and 16d

Good fun, Roach, thanks. As others have said, a relatively gentle puzzle (which suits me) and some fun clueing. I’ll pick a podium of 17a, 6d (although shouldn’t ocassion be occasion?) and 8d.
