I got 27a, but I wasn't happy with reptiles being described as 'crawlers' as I have never seen a snake crawl. And of course 10a is why they get nicknamed 'tabs' by the dark blues... Is 3d EXACT?

I wrote in ORDERS for 2dn, reading it as a weak cryptic def., ie horses race under the starter's orders. This fitted fine with 9ac and 13ac. That'll teach me to assume every Rufus clue is a Cd until proved otherwise! (Only joking, Rufus.) I made a mistake in this one which caused me no end of trouble with 1ac.
