Introduction

I must confess that I struggled with many of today's clues, finding them to be rather tricky - yet they appeared so obvious when observed in the rear-view mirror. The Brits generally seemed to feel that this puzzle was a rather uninspired effort, an assessment which is supported by the fact that I could find very little material to include in the blog today.
