I didn’t finish it! I gave up on 5 of them – my old Chambers let me down and I didn’t have enough enthusiasm to go a’Googlin’.

I found ‘grandchildren of immigrants’ (Wiki) for SANSEI which is the same as bridgesong’s definition. I presumed the clue meant the second generation born in the country.

I’d never heard of Niue. Then, lo and behold, it was in the news for splitting its royal wedding stamp in two.

AJK – horses for courses. I found this week’s much easier although I’ve still got a couple to solve.

Even then I didn’t understand the wordplay for DINNLE, so thanks for your explanation (it was the last one to go in for me as well). However I think you’re mistaken in your criticism of the clue for SANSEI, as although it may mean third generation in Japanese, the definition in Chambers “born of the offspring of Japanese immigrant parents” seems to fit the clue pretty well.
