    😆 A fun one! Nice work!

      Lovely! I am stumped by the wordplay of 1D.

        Very fun capital of Japan riff. Mr. Hardy, I think the idea is that 1D can be pronounced rather like "a bore," (slangily, a "snooze") though possibly those connections don't hold up in your neck of the woods.

          Many thanks!

        Completely misread 1d so merlin fails again... thanks anyway

            I'm just starting to get the hang of cryptics. This one is just challenging enough to boost my confidence without destroying it, so thanks.
