EOAN is quite an old favourite actually! When you are making up this type of puzzle, you will use whatever little filler you can lay your hands on, (usually) within the vocab of Chambers. That said, why not go for PIKA rather than PIKE, say?

Matthew is right about EOAN: I find that 4 letter words often contain a trap, as Azed will choose the most obscure word he can find (which is fair enought).

I liked the reference to red cent in 22 down, but 4 down was the cleverest clue.

29ac: busy=’TEC

30ac: The answer is EOAN, and one lying in a long time will miss eoan moments.
