Thanks for the post, jetdoc – we completed this happily but with a few queries that you’ve cleared up, e.g. VESSELS and “demise of Inspector”

The incorrect submission deadline is annoying – I did get it in on time, but might well not have since I don’t like submitting competition puzzles until I understand everything in them…

(Congratulations again, IanN14!)

Thanks, too, cholecyst,
You made me laugh; I’m making up for my (rather mediocre) school years at a rural comprehensive…

Thanks for the blog – it explained a few mysteries !
It took us a long time to get into this – we were surprised to see no special instructions, and it took a while for the penny to drop that they were actually in the clues. Very clever – especially 19a.

I still don’t really get 6d – thought UNHANG a possibility but couldn’t explain it, so left it blank. Oh! (“plink” – sound of light coming on) – I get it, ‘online items’ = washing. Doh….

Thanks for the blog, Jetdoc. I thought this was very satisfyingly constructed and enjoyed it a lot. Can’t remember all the ins and outs of it now, so thanks for the blog, which was a welcome reminder!

Thanks, Andrew.
Blimey, I’ve never been called a stalwart before…
(Not quite so fast for the next one, though).

Thanks jetdoc – this was very clever and good fun.

I was a wrong about the online solution, by the way – although the links say they are to the solution of this puzzle, they actually lead to the solution of the previous one! No doubt they’ll catch up eventually: at least the special instructions weren’t late this month, as there weren’t any (confusing in its own way!)

Congrats to IanN14 to being first to submit his solution again..
