Thanks Quixote we enjoyed 25ac, it raised a smile. One of us saw the long answer fairly early on thankfully as we started the puzzle quite late.

Thanks Jed for the blog – may you have an enjoyable day tomorrow!

Favourite clue 26ac for the definition “Like a”, although I am sure that this is not the first time this has been used.

I took the long anagram on trust and it certainly opened the puzzle up, giving us two letters each of 1/2/13/14dn and three each of 6/10dn. Normally I regard it as undesirable when two answers cross more than once, but with an answer as long as the one here, it is practically inevitable.
