Just like that, another crossword.
David’s visiting today. Let’s see if he inspires another clue as desperate as OFFENCE RELATING TO FIRE EXITS.

What a terrible host I am.
Here’s one I did as a potential between-rounds handout sheet for the pub quiz I work on. Unfortunately, despite my best efforts to make it easy, it was deemed too hard.
There’s a couple of full grids on the bubble. I hope to complete at least one before the end of the year!

The seven clues with no definition are 25A, 30A, 5D, 19D, 15D, 1A and 8D in that order.
This puzzle may be rather difficult for solvers who were not pre-schoolers in the UK between the late 60s and early 80s. As always, no apologies.
