I don’t think I have ever completed an FT quite so quickly, the answers just seemed to enter themselves. Some of the clues felt so familiar that I began to wonder if an old crossword had been reprinted in error. The blog will take far longer to write than it took to complete the puzzle even if very little is required by way of explanation apart from possibly 23d which I thought was neatly disguised clue.
