Solving time : 30 minutes

This is my first analysis and I have been dreading getting the hardest puzzle in twenty years.
In the event it's relatively straightforward but with several homophones, which are not my favourite type of clue because they don't always work in your particular accent. For me there are no outstanding clues but 13 acrooss and 2 down are quite good.

Across
1	BUCCANEER - sounds like "Buchan" + sounds like "here"
9	WILDCAT - again so soon. Two meanings.
10	INVADER - (t)IN-VA-DER
11	SHAKE - two meanings
12	NICOTIANA - (inaction + a)* proper name for tobacco
13	DAILY - DALLY with "L" turned to "I"
14	ENTRAMMEL - (lament + mre)* mre from m(a)r(k)e(d)
17	MINNESOTA - M-INNE-SOT-A Inne is olde worlde. On edit - should be M-INN-E-SOT-A see blogs
18	TAKEN - TA-KEN "ken" is Scots for knowledge
19	SUSPENDED - refers to suspended sentence
22	RIPON - RIP = scam but with ON rather than OFF
24	ECHIDNA - E-CHID-NA the anteater CHID in (p)ENA(l)
25	OIL CAKE - OIL(y) + CAKE = set as in mud cakes
27	ELSEWHERE - E-LSE-WHERE E=English, LSE=London Scholl of Economics, WHERE sounds like "Wear"
Down
1	BOWLS - two meanings
2	COLLATION - COL-LATI-O-N COL = officer, O= o(rdered) in LATIN
3	ARCHETYPE - ARCHE(r) + TYPE
5	RAIN CATS AND DOGS - (conga is standard)*
6	RIVET - (p)RIVET
7	MEDIA - two meanings (reference the Medes)
8	TARPAULIN - TAR + PAULIN(e)
13	DAMASCENE - two meanings, from Damascus and putting gold onto Toledo swords
15	AFTERGLOW - (great wolf)*
16	MAKE PEACE - homophone for William MAKEPEACE Thackeray
21	ENDOW - hidden word (m)en do w(ithout)
