Cryptic crossword No 2,000

Thanks Gennaro. All plain sailing until I hit 6d, which stumped me and seemed quite a bit harder than the others. Liked 19a, 27a and 1d

A real joy Gennaro. 1d went in straight away which helped a lot. 6d was LOI but with all the checkers it was reachable and I was able to admire the wordplay. The occasional write in (22a, 26a) also gratefully received. Faves were 11a, 17a, 4d and 16d.

So after the impersonator, the real thing is back! Another fun puzzle where the SI pointers helped me make headway partway through the solve. A few obscurities but all ultimately doable without reveals. Liked 11a, 12a, 8d and 20d. Spoilery comments overleaf ->

Nice one Gennaro, thanks. I found it towards the trickier end of your spectrum but the SI gave me a useful leg-up. Favourites: 12a, 22a, 23a, 27a and 16d. Spoiler …

Thanks Gennaro, like Coot I found this at your trickier end but, as so often, the nicely worked Nina came in very handy. Faves include 12a, 22a (but repeated indicator in 26a), 27a, 7d & 21d. Thanks again!

Thanks Gennaro. I’ve been away a while, so this was a pleasant return to solving on MyC. My faves 10a, 11a, 27a, 7d, 8d, 17d and no comments to add to those already posted here. Good fun - look forward to more from you in due course! (I need to get on with mine too…)

Hi Gennaro. I'm a bit late to this and in catch up mode. So it was nice to find this relatively plain sailing. A couple of tricky ones amongst the first half dozen down clues to which I had to return but everything else went in on the first run through which is a very enjoyable experience. Your theme was unveiled in time to be useful - esp with those early ones. All nicely clued; just a couple of quibbles picked up by others. Faves inc 19a, 23a, 1d, 7d, 18d and 20d Thanks. PM

Cheers, Gennaro - your best yet I think! Favourites 11a, 23a, 27a, 7d, 21d...

Nicely done Gennaro. Lots of good and solid clueing that was nicely accessible. 9a, 27a, 7d and 18d were favourites. Spoilers...
