You’ll have to refresh, have a sense of humour, and maybe possess some mind reading skills…

Devilish fun. I got the big ben line so I'm proud of that. Cheers.

No apology needed, I actually got that clue, and the trousers and shoes.. Rhyming slang you soundly defeated me with. Nice difficult grid. I appreciate it. Thanks.

Great grid, didn't get the cigar line but managed the rest. Some proper groaners there!

10/10. A good laugh :)

I haven’t tried your most recent grid yet St John, but I thought you might have liked the groaners in here. I haven’t heard. Not that I’m needy or anything 😄

Oh my giddy Aunt 🤣 Where for art thou 6*, Scottish Bethany face palmed. Hope you had as much fun making this as I did playing. PS - 2 refreshes plus 1'33" so am taking 9/10, thanks Fam

@Jmelb, did you try my silly one? I only manage to post one a week or so.

I got a couple of these clues, but it mainly went right over my head, particularly the rhyming slang, though I knew mince pies. I liked the explanations, once the grid was resolved. Thank you for truly fiendish and very clever grid!

Ahh, thanks WVPuzzler! Appreciated from such a skilled and prolific grid setter as yourself! 🙂 It takes me quite a while to compose a grid so I’m chuffed if people like them. It’s a bit like cooking a roast dinner - it takes all day and then it’s gone in an instant 😄

Here she is Jmelb.

Had no idea what was going on! But boy did I enjoy that grid.
