Not totally easy, needed three bits of wordplay explained here, ta.

Look PeterO, by definition of being a blogger, you are a better solver than the target audience. Therefore, if the target audience finds it harder than you did and says so, that isn’t flak, that’s just the way things are. Sometimes that may be expressed in a way that looks like flak, but then we’re famous as being a nation of wind up merchants!

Largely OK for a Quiptic, although one or two were a bit tough; no obscure words, however.

Thanks PeterO; I didn’t parse MARSHALS properly. I liked the male driver=TESTOSTERONE.

Thanks Peter.

Lovely Quiptic from Orlando, just right to start the week. Plenty of different devices and some lovely surface readings too. I thought TESTOSTERONE was cleverly done.

You would have had your fair share of thunder and lightning on this side of the pond these last few weeks as well …
