2d,8d (too cunning) , 10a, 14a , 19a ,18d (too clever for me) ,26a ,28a.

26a & 28a not helped by having sisal for 24d s is a l(ead). I never know when l can be the abbreviation for a word beginning with l.

Thanks for the enlightenment.

EATEN: I parsed this as you did, Sil. Here in the UK, the phrase ‘ten out of ten’ means
‘a perfect mark’. A score is twenty of course, but nowadays it’s more often used in the
sense of ‘about twenty’ in the singular or ‘large numbers’ in the plural.

ORDAIN: I pick “not so very cryptic definition”!

EVELYN: Does Crux do risque clues? If so, this might explain the ! before ‘flat’!
