    Fun cryptic! Loved the &lit. in 14D. Maybe a couple of clues I could nitpick but nothing that ruined the solve.

      Thank you, and any critical feedback is welcome - I'm trying to get better at this after a long break!

      Enjoyed co-solving with @Gem, 12D a favourite but a little confused by 13D - would love to know what lies beneath the surface!

        Ten less than (removing T,E and N) competition (from CONTEST) price (definition)- might not be perfect, any suggestions for improvement?
        • Cassidy Ferrari 18:03 · 2023-07-13T23:21:23.633Z
          Oh that's lovely!! No suggestions required - we clearly just had sleepy heads on, didn't think to find synonym for competition!

        Cute CD at 13A. The definition at 5D seems to have to be "went through terrible time" to match the tenses. Also, "by a dad" does not anagram to "a bad day". I'm missing an a.
