Thank you, Duncan. My thinking was the same as Sidey’s about 5d but you’ve given me pause for thought. I couldn’t parse SMELLER. I never thought of sermon.

I must repeat how much I appreciate such a clear, well laid out blog.

Thanks all
I did enter ‘lower’ for 5d. I seem to remember he was often in debt and waiting for a P.O. to turn up. I did finally settle on ‘owly’ because of his prominent round specs.
In spite of that I found the lower (no pun) half much trickier than the top and last in was 26d.
As always enjoyable.
Like sidey I am now getting even more enjoyment from today’s.

sidey @ 1

You may well be right about Bunter, but it struck me as too much of coincidence that the definition of ‘Bunter’ in Chambers included usage of the word ‘lowest’. I am not sure the words ‘Azed’ and ‘coincidence’ go together in the same sentence very often.

You always know where you stand with Azed.

Had you looked at today’s when you wrote that duncan? I know what you mean though. Which is why I’m a bit confused by your geological excursion in ‘lowly’, which would require some words doing double duty. The definition is “describing his position in Remove?” rather than “Typical of Bunter”.
