Chaos, I completed the Sir Lancelot crossword and then found out that the other xword was on the reverse side. Spent ages taking a copy off my fax machine, cutting, glueing etc so I hope that all is well. Good luck.

What a pain it is. They should allow photocopies under these circumstances.

Cheers derek - it will be interesting to see what happens if anything. Problem is not everyone has access to a photocopier or a scanner!

Nothing is going right this morning. The published Sir Lancelot e.mail address is incorrect!

Oh what a performance. Someone at the MoS needs a good telling off. I understand the crosswords weren't published at all in some editions! We should all demand our money back.

Well, at least you tried derek and good luck with the crosswords. I've complete Sir Lancelot if you get stuck and am now trying the prize one.
