'He/she sends me', back in the day, at least in the US, meant 'He/she turns me on', albeit rather more sedately than the latter expression suggests. Sam Cooke's first hit, I believe, was 'You Send Me'.

A long, long time. Once again, Dave's blog enlightens me on a number of clues: DNK Theresa May, didn't understand how NOISETTE worked, never heard of Pedigree Chum (I just knew chum as fish bait). Am I to take 'club' as both definition and anagrind? I'd marked 1ac as my COD, but now I'm a bit dubious about 'fan' myself. Utes and Oto(e)s pay regular visits to the NYTimes crossword.

A lot of cultural references, many contemporary, made this different, and I say Vive la difference! Tim made use of the 'one=a' okay if it's not a Mon-Sat Times puzzle 'rule' twice, at 6dn and 17ac. Constipated was classic Moorey! 110 minutes, so it rather describes my effort too!

A rare occasion when I seem to be against the trend in finding this one quite easy to solve, having completed it in 24 minutes. But I didn't fully understand how NOISETTE and STRINGENT worked until coming here. In fact I wrote NOISETTE in immediately on the strength of 'slice of lamb', the enumeration and the 'I' checker.

LOI was CAMARGUE from the wordplay as I can never remember the regions of France but I did at least recognise it once I'd worked it out.

I don't like overuse of A for 1 - one occasionally perhaps but not two in the same puzzle.

'Fan' is on the Chambers list of anagram indicators so I've no complaints there.

Enjoyed the HP sauce reference despite reminding me of Harold Wilson who favoured it (Gannex next?) but I have happier memories of Henry the bloodhound promoting Pedigree Chum alongside the lugubrious Clement Freud.

Didn't get round to solving this until yesterday. All correct in the end but delayed by Gehenna (unknown to me) and Noisette (which I dimly remember seeing before).

Constipated made me chuckle too, as did Hip. Thanks Dave for parsing Outed, Pfenning and Dog's Dinner. I'd not heard of Ute as a language or the Fen coins and having never been a dog owner didn't twig that Chum referred to a pet food brand.

It's a bit long ago to interest anyone, but being an Aussie I wasn't up with Therea May, and I got it because Theresa (SOED) is thought to be the goddess of the harvest which (northern hem) is in autumn, hence May. Hey setter, bit obscure, I thought, but it was my own tangled brain, not his.

Cheers,
