This was perhaps the hardest Mudd puzzle ever during my cryptic life.
Indeed, worth a Prize Puzzle, more than worth a Paul Prize Puzzle too.

Exceptional clueing in 11ac (FIANNA FAIL), also full marks to 6d (TUGBOAT) and 8ac (BOSNIAN), to name just a few.
X for ‘lines crossed’, another corker.

No bums or bottoms this time, instead a private part …. :)

Dear John , this was a crossword to treasure.
I cannot be in London tomorrow to tell you this in person, but I will punish you for this hard work! I will pay you back!
At http://www.virginmoneygiving/JohnHalpern , that is. :)
