| I couldn't see any outstanding clue but thought there were several reasonable efforts. Of the several 'hiddens', I felt 35 was the most effective and awarded it 5 points. Both 6 and 7 used the E(CO)NOMY anagram quite effectively, my slight preference for 6 reflecting the awkwardness of 'initially lacking' in 7. With hindsight, I wonder whether something like 'Care of __ supply could sort economy' works even better. I gave 2 points to 24 for the neat use of 'pulling rank', perhaps the best example of a definition for CLASS. I've also given 1 point to clue 41 but don't understand why 'irregularly' was chosen. 'regularly' would both improve the surface – a ref. to supposed Yorkshire meanness – and be more in accordance with standard wordplay. I would have given it 5 points with this alteration. |
