I must remember to submit these more often!

Was pleased to complete this as I struggled with Nimrod’s(and Enigmatist’s) Friday puzzles.
Assumed it would have a matrimonial theme so guessed BRIDE after the first few clues gave me I,R and E.
OUTBALANCE caused me a few problems as I read the definition as “more important” which left B and E in the anagram fodder – which was obviously wrong.
Had to have a second look at the puzzle next day and managed to solve the 3 long answers and then begin filling the grid,after which it all fell into place.
Really enjoyable and satisfying puzzle.

So a very satisfying solve, all in all. I have to admit I enjoyed this quite a lot more than a Nimrod daily, as I always struggle with those.

This is a follow-up to his “all 5 broadsheets” exploit on his wedding day. With the advantage of inside knowledge, BRIDE was pretty obvious, but the “Something …” saying didn’t occur to me until PENNY and LIBRARY BOOK emerged from checking letters in the perimeter. The pensioner and shirt still took a while to find though.

The blue background used for the grid must be deliberate, though for practical reasons it was more Coventry than Everton.
