Listener Crossword 4117 Great Expectations by Samuel
86 Answers
Not finished yet, but I've got grid B, so I know two things already. There's an awful lot of pretty close to cold solving in Grid A, and I've got to get a bigger print out to have any kind of chance with the instruction. Best of luck, everyone.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.The bigger grid definitely helps! Towards the end, I found it was possible to do some backwards solving on some of the more reluctant clues, making the last few rather less of a cold solve. I'm half inclined (if I can do the paperwork) to enter the tiny version. I suspect checking these is going to be something of a nightmare in Green Lane! Something to do in the run up to Christmas, I suppose.
Other than knowing what the answer is (though there are variant spellings) I still don't get 14 down. Does the clue parse well enough for others?

Grid A completed but bewildered by 14d. I see only one entry with two possible spellings, but the wordplay eludes. Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree!
I'm saving grid B for this evening. Mrs bobbycollins will be at her office meal so a rare Saturday evening with a bottle of wine and the crossword is in prospect. Simple pleasures.

Think I'll be barking by the end. Having finished B, I know where this is going, so anticipate a lot of coldish solving in completing A ... and where on earth did I put that new stanley knife blade? Easier than building a wren though! - and plenty of time to crack it as we won't be able to get out of here for a few days yet. Meanwhile there's a fair bit more track clearing to do to make sure we can get to and from the woodshed, so can't hang around. Merry Christmas everyone.
Thanks for the confirmation - still to see the wordplay.
Barking? Definitely.....just about to get ready for the trek to Fleetwood to watch Town v Newport, think of me:
"a youth (well), who bore, 'mid snow and ice, a banner with the strange device, Excelsior!" Game on - we have great ground covers at Highbury Avenue.
