Quick gridfill I thought (well it must be if I am in the Friday club), but not so easy to spot the endgame. Very enjoyable though and a great theme! This is the first time I have started the thread so apologies if I have done anything wrong.
Fun theme (and treatment) indeed, even if endgame not all that thrilling. Solved with no aids so still need to double-check some wordplays. Many thanks to KevGar for enjoyment.
