A Jolly Jumbo

Times Cryptic Jumbo 1517 - 11th September

Times Cryptic Jumbo 1517 - 11th SeptemberI think this excellent Jumbo crossword is a great demonstration that a crossword doesn't have to be full of trickery to be fun and satisfying. I was all but finished in under 30 minutes but I had plenty of fun along the way, with over a dozen ticks of appreciation on my copy. As usual, though, there were a handful of clues that held me up at the end including the clever cryptic 7A and the unknown phrase at 34A. It's hard to pick a favourite, but the groanworthy 36D has the biggest tick. Thank-you setter. How did you all like it?
