Hi puzzlers. Trad. Sunday offering. Mr Price has never been hard to read, so difficulty rating "High" (Sorry Grandpa!

I await the team's assault !

3D is an obscure reference to me on this forum and an "actor" by the name of Wilfred Pickles. His wife was "Mabel at the Table". He was a Yorkshireman but shifted to the Management's part of the world where you flew a Red flag not a miserable White one.

I know a bit about heraldry. In fact I'd be rampant about it but have only two legs.

4D. Get your anagram hat on. Been under their assistance for both general and local, quite a bit.

Good morning. A promising start to the day.

Good morning hlvp (and any other crossword fan). Lovely start to the day. Clear skies.

I wrongly implied that Robert Price was an easy setter to read. He's up there with Dean Mayer and "the dreaded" proXimal. Not seen him for a bit.

Some posters on here need to be a bit more 14A Look backwards in the clue to get 10A. 5A

Thanks, I hate that clueing though!

26A I suppose Never really liked Robert Price's crosswords

Good morning lads. Sorry I was no help. I pondered these all day, but couldn't get a single one. A couple, I kind of guessed right, but could never have figured out the parsings anyway. Tomorrow is another day.
