Cryptic crossword No 1,337

Great stuff, really enjoyed solving that one. Lots of very neat clues. I especially liked 11a

Well, that was a tougher one than your last, Dyno. Presumably intentionally so. Some great misdirections and good humour throughout. I particularly appreciated 9a, 18a, 22a, 26a, 27a, 3d, 5d, 17d, 20d & 24d among others. A few terms not previously known to me, but that's part of the fun. Some minor queries in reply. Thanks again!

Thanks Dyno, very much enjoyed. Faves include 11a, 14a, 18a, 5d (possibly just for recalling Paddy McAloon / Prefab Sprout!), 15d, 20d & 24d. Spoilers ...

Very late to this Dyno - it's been sat half finished on my desktop for days. Finished this morning with COTD 11a which is a lovely cryptic def. 6d is super and other faves inc 1a, 12a, 18a, 1d, 13d, 19d and 24d. Thanks. PM
