Cryptic crossword No 1,647

Thanks, Chlorine. Quick, cheerful solve, though 8a almost stalled me. 2d my favourite.

Plenty to like in here, Chlorine. And the odd raised eyebrow. Some nice succinct surfaces in amongst the clues. Faves include: 11a, 21a (see Reply), 25a, 4d (COTD), 16d, 18d, 20d. Spoilers in Reply. Thanks. PM

Good fun, not too tricky. Liked 1d, 11a, 12a and 15a. I see some of PM’s points but none of them slowed me down, all was gettable. Thanks!
