Hi, just wondering how you arrived at DOSING for clue 1A? Wordplays has it as DESAND.

A dosing strip was a council-run service where people took their dogs to get treated for parasites. The dogs, including Afghans, would not enjoy it 🙂 Not a great clue in my opinion!
Hi. Can anyone explain why 28a is THISTLE please? This one’s got us puzzled…
It’s a double definition. The ‘thistle’ is an order of chivalry, and it’s also a weed to be destroyed in pasture land. Not one of Kropotkin’s better clues to my mind 🙂
