15A- Liked tge clue very much, but does it need A? ....for A match perhaps?
ReplyDeleteYes, it would have been simple. The split “a light” was creating doubt since alight directly means disembark.

Pound is anagrind..
No. Guinea is gold coin worth of one pound and one shilling!

Thank you
DeleteInteresting to note that ' A man with two left feet' is the title of a PGW novel.
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw that novel for the first time I was imagining a real man like that and wondered why should it ve a title of a book- until I could get it's meaning as an idiom for clumsiness.
ReplyDeleteA person who can’t dance is also called like that!
DeleteSathia
A person with two left feet is" rightly" called as one who can't dance
DeleteExactly. That is the meaning of the idiom and it'll of the book- also indicates clumsiness.
DeleteRead as title of the book
DeleteEnjoyed the clues - 24-A, 13-A, 15-A, 2-D to 4-D & 23-D. 👍 🌹 👍
ReplyDeletePardon me for this comment at the end of the day. Being a 'Late Latif' seems to have become my hallmark or a trademark since those nursery school days of 1950-52 at Himanshu Sishu Vihar in Malleswaram of Bangalore
ReplyDeleteWell, today let me sincerely thank 'Incognito' Kishore Rao for enlightening me on excessive cups that cheers (25-D)....
Easy as always.
ReplyDeleteMy fav

Thanx Kishore!
