I do hope that it's one of our number that wins.

The hypocrisy of that statement is staggering. None of you deserve to win. You are a bunch of cheats.
If you had any honour you would decline to send in your entry so improving the chance of someone who does deserve to win. Someone who has done it themself.

D of T B - are you Wetblanket in disguise? Why bother coming on here if all you want to do is criticise? I am sure you could find some pleasure elsewhere.

I note that you do not disagree with what I said. I repeat, you are a bunch of cheats.

I should like to point out to Disgusted of Kent that a little matter of grammatical inconsistency (someone / them self)could be avoided by reading some of the spirited but generally syntactically correct notes. A good, honest crossword solver should pay attention also to this (people in glasshouses maybe...)

Another one who would rather nitpick than respond to what I said. I repeat, you are a bunch of cheats.

What is cheating? Is it consulting a dictionary? Is it looking up various references in tomes innumerable? Is it checking or confirming information on the net? Is it learning from those who can impart knowledge? Are we born with the ability to complete puzzles without first learning from one source or another? If the answer to any of these is yes, we (you and I) are all cheats.

A perfectly good, entertaining thread spoiled once again by someone with nothing better to do than carp. As it says in the Bible "let he who is without sin cast the first stone. I suspect that Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells has NEVER done anything that would sully their whiter-than-whiter soul - NOT!

I'll speak very slowly DOTB.
You are on what is called the Internet. It is full of facts and information and people telling each other things. It is the modern way to learn and to speak to people across the world. It is really catching on. You are using it. You are using it to call people who use it cheats.

You can't get the answer from the published clue. No need to do your own research,etc. ask on here. Some buffoon will give you additional pointers until you do get it.
That does NOT mean that YOU have solved the original puzzle. That's why trying to claim the prize is cheating. Why not congratulate yourselves on solving it between you and leave the prize to someone who deserves it.

Blah! Blah! Blah! What exactly entitles you to be the self-appointed upholder of morality? If this site offends you then go somewhere else!
