Quick crossword No 285

Really great Puddles, I'd have thought you've been doing this for donkey's years!!! My picks are 1a (great surface), 13a (love a reverse anagram), 19a (COTD - just because), 3d, 4d and 7d. The only thing I will say is that reverse anagrams (as in 14d) are usually frowned upon (I only found this out very recently - the hard way!) so (European capital)* = OREM is often a bit of a no-no... Still, an A1 puzzle, love it!
