Yet again Chambers 2011 is recommended when unlike the 2008 version it does not have forenames. However a very enjoyable puzzle despite this.
Does anybody know if solutions can be submitted via email? With the new postage rates it would be a sensible saving. If not, perhaps a campaign should be started to accomodate it.

I've not got the 2011 version of BRB, just the 2003 version which has served me adequately since 2005!
I don't submit EV any more, but you could try asking the Puzzles Editor, Phil McNeill, his e-mail address is [email protected], if he would accept the solution by attachment to an e-mail. Alternatively subscibe to the on-line telegraph crossword site. The same situation would appertain to the cryptic and the GK on sunday, and any other prize puzzles that are in the Telegraph.
My first pass through the clues didn't give me too many gifts, but it all sort of came together, despite never having heard where the quotation came from. It was the 7th word of the quote that lead to completion!
Time for a preprandial.

28a, Take the first 2 letters of the grid entry and reverse them, put the extra letter in front of them, that means UNITED, use the middle 2 letters (essentially) of CITY, and insert (accepting) s(econd).
29d, a sort of double definition, the first has happened in the past and includes the extra letter, the second a noun, which is the definition. Have a look in the BRB, the word with the extra letter is in the second entry, and the definition in the first.
Hope you get the last 1% done!
