Loved 6 down,didn’t paticularly like the homophone at 5 down,but then not living within the sound of Bow bells it’s outside of my range of knowledge!
Last to go in was ‘Monegasque’,which I didn’t know, but it was gettable from the wordplay.
All in all,an enjoyable puzzle.
Now for a quick peek at today’s Indie …

Am I the only one to spend longer looking for ninas than on the crossword?

Entertaining and cleverly clued stuff from Dac, which as usual was just stretching enough for me at the moment. The less well known words like MONEGASQUE and CHAUFFEUSE were fairly signalled; and I liked AYRSHIRE and DUNGEON as well.

I took 25ac at face value, but if there’s an &lit in there as well we’ll give Dac a bonus point. For 10ac, I assumed it was RAN as in ‘took part in race’, not quite being RANK as grade. (Guessing that this was the senior moment you referred to, but forgive me if not: I have several each day.)

And if Eileen pays us a visit this afternoon, then she might have something to say about the regional accent homophone in 5dn. For me, an okay clue because it couldn’t be anything else once you’d got the crossing letters, but I’m easily pleased most of the time.

Read the ACE as being alternate letters in MATCHES as you suggest. Favourites, BEAR PITS, ARRANGEMENT, CLOTHE.
