Eimi takes the stage today, and some suspicious minds might look at the date and think Armistice Day. They’d be wrong as this appears to be a vanilla crossword, even if bits do seem a little OLD

After three days of relatively undemanding puzzles, I wasn’t sure what to expect today but was very pleased to see Brendan’s name on this one. As usual, I had the momentary dread of failing to see the theme but this one was clearly signalled and involved stuff that featured in the 11-plus exam [yes, really] though with some more exotic examples than the ones I learned. An enjoyable and fair puzzle – thank you, Brendan.

Solving time: about 30 mins, except for Googling to confirm the theme.

A few too many double definitions and homophones for my taste today. Nothing particularly bad, but such a surfeit runs the risk of diluting the overall experience. So, to borrow a much-favoured and back-handed compliment from an erstwhile history teacher of mine, “It was good…..as far as it went”.

Thank you, Mr Colin Inman for rotating the setters. After a couple of years of Dante and Crux, Cincinnus (aka Orlando in The Guardian) is a welcome change; which is not to say Dante and Crux are boring. If one has sirloin steak every week, steak and kidney pie would be a welcome change. Phew!
