Spare a thought for those of us who drive on the left, but that was 88 minutes of fabulous!

Surprisingly tricky for a Monday. Delayed me for longer than expected. Enjoyably so.

IOMMI self a pat on the back for hanging in and not resorting to look ups. Almost none of it came easily, and it took forever. Forgetting to look at the title didn’t help 🙂

I enjoyed this, and delighted to have completed in average time without lookups, despite being held up by having “dealer’s edge” and “cut in two” in place for quite a while. The clueing was very satisfying, and the absence of US brand and trivia references a refreshing change.

I floundered in the SE corner, but refuse to feel too bad about it, as there was no way I would have known TPed, Senate Page or Rigel. Rest of the puzzle was fun but fair though.

Loved this. Challenging, but always gave enough to make some small steps and progress. As usual, my blind spots in US general knowledge held me up, and misremembering some Shakespeare didn’t help either (spent ages trying to shoehorn in “A nose amongst thorns”), but overall lots of fun and very satisfying.

A record for me for a Saturday, which happened to be very convenient whilst in a rush today.

Loved this. As a non- American I didn’t find the general knowledge any more difficult than usual, and the theme was really clever. A super satisfying solve. Thank you!
