ReplyDeleteExchanging notes is a much tougher job than this!
Simple,enjoyable and trendy. Neat surfaces. Several good clues. Took a while to get villainesses.
ReplyDeletethank you Spinner.
If 29a had been one confused about setter...,,...
ReplyDeleteEasy one by Spinner & a super blog
ReplyDeleteSpinner refrains from cricketing clues but bowls gentle turners to capture the present situation
Thanks for the comments. 26A wasn't intended to a be an &lit. The definition is just - 'To exchange for money that can be spent'
ReplyDeleteWhat's 'standing in line' for?
DeleteThat is the anagram indicator.
DeleteGood one. Gels so nicely with the surface.
DeleteThank you :) I think it was necessitated by the surface.
DeleteI suppose standing in Queue to exchange money- to justify legs gone.
