Cryptic crossword No 2,901

Nice grid! Especially fond of 19d.

Very nice, fun to solve with slick surfaces. 10a 😄, 19d v clever WP, other standouts 5a, 13a, 16a, 20a, 11d, 21d, thank you!

Nice smooth puzzle, Ruskin. Succinct and meaningful surfaces and solid constructions throughout. Zero quibble from me. Faves inc 5a, 10a, 20a, 26a, 28a (COTD), 4d, 17d, 19d (also COTD!) and 21d. Thanks. PM

Thanks Ruskin, that was very enjoyable and just about the right level of difficulty for me. Favourites included 10a, 13a, 16a, 24a, 26a, 21d, and 19d after I read your notes. More in reply.

I enjoyed this. Favourites were 26a, 6d which made me laugh, 11d and 17d.
