I
found this a bit of a curate's egg. I was all but done in 30 minutes,
but then took ages over my last 6 or so clues. The downs were definitely
easier - I managed the first 9 if them on the trot. Some nice clues,
such as 15A, my COD, 52A, 29D and 35D. But there are more then the usual
number of unknowns for me; not least my LOI - a foreign phrase I didn't
know and had to look up, although I bet Verlaine does. I also needed an
alphabet trawl to get the composer at 20D. What held me up most,
though, is, I think, a misprint at 56A [Edit: I meant 50A, of course. Thanks Jerry for pointing out I had typo in my reference to the typo].
I also had a couple of other MERs at some odd surfaces. Never mind. It
was mostly fun. Thank-you setter. How did the rest of you get on?
