Cryptic crossword No 2,300

Typically smart, this. Ticks all over the shop: 4a, 9a, 10a, 14a, 3d, 11d, 18d and 29d, etc. Non-spoilers …

Lovely, Skirwingle! Favourites included 1a (once I'd understood it!), 33a, 6d, 7d (just wonderful), 22d and 25d (despite needing to reveal that one - very clever though!). More in reply...

I had a lot of fun, especially liked 12,28 and 22. Oh, and 7d, very clever that!

Great fun but you should be 4A with 10A for 1A and 24D. 28A is my favourite

Thanks Skirwingle, that was very good with my top picks being 9a, 14a, 30a, 33a, 16d, and 22d. I needed your notes to parse 20d, 24d, and 29d. I found the SE the toughest quadrant. More in reply.
