Pelham: I’ve amended that oversight in 16dn. – thank-you.

Mike: again, thank-you – I studied Spanish, rather than French, at school, so I often find myself somewhat at sea whenever ‘in Paris’-type clues appear…

9ac: I had this the same as mike @2.

21ac: I think this should say “shouldn’t include you” rather than “won’t include you”. The cricket commentator Rex Alston’s obituary appeared in the Times while he was still alive. Apparently, when he rang the paper up to complain, he was asked “Where are you ringing from?”

16dn: This is Air reversed within [keeps up] a gran.

20dn: Note the way that Alberich has clued this to force the spelling DIWALI rather than DIVALI. This would matter less if the answer had been checked as D-W-L-.

I always enjoy Alberich’s crosswords. Today’s was easier than usual I thought.
I’m no French expert but I think in 9ac ‘a droite’ is “detailed” to give ADROIT.

‘Pie’ is ‘type confusedly mixed’. And by extension it means ‘a mixed state’ or ‘confusion’.

Of course, we may not see much of it nowadays. But in the era of linotype setting, I have seen ‘pie’ in the galley occasionally.
