Far too many clues using the initial letters device. 25 is a very nice concise +lit, but after that I went mainly for original definitions – 29's 'lousy service station' is a stretch but I like it, 27 is a good CD and 44 is of course an outrageous slur on the fast-food industry, but will ring a bell with anyone who remembers John Gummer feeding his daughter a burger for the cameras at the height of the BSE crisis!
