I just knew it had to be Naxos, the cluing was a perfect lead to that answer,
but not being in Chambers, Azed usually says if certain words ‘pro-nouns’
may not be in Chambers, and often mentions SOED – which Naxos (in my 1950′s version isn’t).
But as there was no indication for this, and me not using my brain! it held me up.
Silly me.

Thanks for the info though Andrew!

There is extra wordplay there in a phonetic “‘s all!” – i.e. how say an umpire or landlord might bellow it.

Naxos, as I should perhaps have said in the blog, is the largest of the Cyclades group in the Aegean Sea (as well as a low-price record label).

‘paretic’ ? I had to use word wizard which resulted no anagram answer,
then I was then stuck with about five clues left to answer.

Thanks for blog Andrew. Apart from my laziness in not looking up the
remaining clues (due to time) this was a great puzzle.

Nice one.

I found this somewhat easier than usual, but I still managed to get one wrong — I had MOUE at 4dn, even though I knew it should be a homophone of something.

clue stood out for me, but I was pleased to get CONTRAFAGOTTO from the word play.
