Cryptic crossword No 2,280

Fun crossword as ever - the rest of my comment is in the reply as it’s a big spoiler 😁

Thanks Gennaro, plenty of fun. Spotting the extra reasonably early was a huge help

Very nicely done Gennaro, as per. Favourites: 5a, 13a, 23a, 4d and 16d. Spoilers …

Nicely done, as usual, and I liked the link between SI and your usual device. Some of the clues in this one read particularly smoothly - 6a, 9a, 11a, 1d, 7d, 16d are the cream of the crop. Thanks. PM

Thanks, Gennaro — your puzzles are fun, and they’re helping me improve, including via the other discussions already underway. I especially liked 10a, 23a (fave), 24a, and 20d. Thanks again, really enjoyed the whole thing ☕️

That was good fun. Favourites 12a and 4d. Rueful spoilery comment in reply

Thanks Gennaro. Another fine effort which as both fun and accessible and - wait for it - much better surfaces overall, I felt! I enjoyed 5a, 23a, 1d, 4d, 15d particularly. Well done! Spoilers...

Thanks Gennaro, good stuff. Nice difficulty level and there are some fun surfaces here, I particularly liked 1d and 4d (though mostly my golf shots ruin my own spirit 🙂). Other favourites were 6a, 23a, 15d and 16d.
