This took me a little under 30 minutes. It all seemed pretty straightforward though a couple of clues highlighted some gaps in my knowledge of Geography. Nothing really stands out as COD, but maybe at gunpoint I'd plump for 26. Very lean pickings for the pie today!

Solving time 26:30 I found this a hard slog, despite getting the two 15-letter downs straight away, which made me think it was going to be a doddle! Maybe I just wasn't with it last Saturday, but I really got bogged down in the top right corner at the end. Across

Solving time 8:46 - very easy for a Saturday, although the tricky wordplay for 1A took much longer for me to understand than the whole puzzle did to solve! Across

I was away on a walking weekend in the Malverns last week, but had a gout attack and had to sit out the 9½-mile walk the rest of them suffered through, which meant I was able to solve this without interruption in the pub garden over a nice cold pint of cider instead :-D Solving time 12:45, with the only problem being that I put PROVOCATION in for 10A at first without properly reading the clue, ...
Posted on behalf of Andy Wallace who is back on blogging duty but away for a long weekend. I didn't get an uninterrupted run at this one but was thoroughly stumped by 25A and two or three others including the MUFFIN MAN, so Andy's 16-17 minutes probably beats me by about 10. And 'm sure 13.5 is the record "pie total" clocked up so far. Anyway, over to Andy: I didn't write down my solving time ...
This took me rather longer than it should have - a good 45 minutes. It seemed rather a let-down after yesterday's treat but on another day it might have seemed more impressive.
